SEX DIFFERENCES IN DIVING DEPTHS AND DIET OF ANTARCTIC SHAGS AT THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS (2001)

R. Casaux, M. Favero, P. Silva, A. Baroni

Sexual differences in maximum diving depths and in the composition of the diet of the Antarctic Shag (Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis) were investigated at Harmony Point, Nelson Island, South Shetland...

Potassium transport by the isolated perfused kidney.

Silva, P, Ross, B D, Charney, A N, Besarab, A, Epstein, F H

Rat kidneys perfused outside of the body with an artificial medium are able to increase their fractional excretion of potassium in response to a rising concentration of potassium in the medium but...

Atrial natriuretic peptides inhibit conductive sodium uptake by rabbit inner medullary collecting duct cells.

Zeidel, M L, Kikeri, D, Silva, P, Burrowes, M, Brenner, B M

The inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) effects net sodium reabsorption under the control of volume regulatory hormones, including atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP). These studies examined the...

Transport defects of rabbit medullary thick ascending limb cells in obstructive nephropathy.

Hwang, S J, Haas, M, Harris, H W, Silva, P, Yalla, S, Sullivan, M R, ...

To characterize the sodium transport defect responsible for salt wasting in obstructive nephropathy, the major sodium transporters in the medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL), the apical Na-K-2Cl...

Elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D plasma levels in normal human pregnancy and lactation.

Kumar, R, Cohen, W R, Silva, P, Epstein, F H

Plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels are elevated in early pregnancy and continue to increase throughout pregnancy. They remain elevated postpartum in lactating women. The elevated levels probably...

Excretion and metabolism of catecholamines by the isolated perfused rat kidney.

Silva, P, Landsberg, L, Besarab, A

The excretion and metabolism of labeled epinephrine and norepinephrine by the isolated, perfused rat kidney were studied. The excretion of both catecholamines significantly exceeded the amount...

Intracellular pH regulation and proton transport by rabbit renal medullary collecting duct cells. Role of plasma membrane proton adenosine triphosphatase.

Zeidel, M L, Silva, P, Seifter, J L

Proton secretion in the renal medullary collecting duct is thought to occur via a luminal proton-ATPase. In order to determine what mechanism(s) participate in proton transport across medullary...

Disparate mechanisms for hypoxic cell injury in different nephron segments. Studies in the isolated perfused rat kidney.

Intracellular pH regulation in rabbit renal medullary collecting duct cells. Role of chloride-bicarbonate exchange.

Zeidel, M L, Silva, P, Seifter, J L

The renal medullary collecting duct (MCD) secretes protons into its lumen and HCO3 into its basolateral space. Basolateral HCO3 transport is thought to occur via Cl/HCO3 exchange. To further...
