The effect of estradiol-17beta-BSA (E(2)-BSA) on Ca(2+) uptake and its related signal pathways were examined in the primary cultured rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. E(2)-BSA (10(-9) M) significantly stimulated Ca(2+) uptake from 2 h by 13% and at 8 h by 35% as compared to control, respectively.
## Abstract ## Background Viscous preservation solutions such as University of Wisconsin solution (UW) may be less effective at rapid removal of blood from an organ so that cooling takes longer. This study assessed the temperature changes of kidneys flushed with UW and hyperosmolar citrate (HOC).
## Abstract Five months following unilateral nephrectomy, the parietal epithelia in the remaining kidneys of SpragueβDawley rats were examined by light and electron microscopy. Compared with controls, the kidneys from uninephrectomized rats exhibited a dramatic increase in mass characteristic of co
