## Background: Agmatine, a putative endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors, induces numerous biological effects. the agonist clonidine binds to alpha-2 (alpha2) adrenoceptors and imidazoline receptors, and inhibits arginine vasopressin (avp)-stimulated urea permeability (pu) in the rat inner m
Glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC) plays an important role in the osmoregulation of the renal inner medulla. Under hyperosmotic conditions, a striking increase in cellular GPC content is observed. In order to characterize the cellular events involved in GPC metabolism, we have studied the uptake of chol
Reactive oxygen metabolites have been implicated in the pathogenesis of toxic, ischaemic and immunologically mediated renal injury. An increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) has been proposed as a mechanism of oxidative stress-induced cell injury. We used a fluorescence spectrom
We examined the action of high (2 x 10(-8)M) and low (6 x 10(-9)M) concentrations of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on water and urea transport in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) using the in vitro microperfusion technique. We measured the hydraulic conductivity (Lp x 10(-6) cm/atm p
