BACKGROUND The relations among hyporetinolemia, acute phase proteins, and vitamin A status in children are unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine the relations between acute phase proteins and plasma retinol concentrations in children with and without clinical vitamin A deficiency (Bitot

Environmental risk factors in congenital malformations of the eye.

Only registered users can translate articles

Developmental eye defects such as coloboma are a significant cause of visual morbidity in children, and are more common in India than elsewhere. The possible role of environmental factors in the aetiology of these conditions was investigated by studying birth order, symptoms of vitamin A deficiency

L-type Ca2+ channels in Ca2+ channelopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

Voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) mediate depolarization-induced Ca2+ entry in electrically excitable cells, including muscle cells, neurons, and endocrine and sensory cells. In this review we summarize the role of LTCCs for human diseases caused by genetic Ca2+ channel defects

Channelopathies in Cav1.1, Cav1.3, and Cav1.4 voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels.

Only registered users can translate articles

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels couple membrane depolarization to Ca2+-dependent intracellular signaling events. This is achieved by mediating Ca2+ ion influx or by direct conformational coupling to intracellular Ca2+ release channels. The family of Cav1 channels, also termed L-type Ca2+ channels

Disorders of membrane channels or channelopathies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To review the structure and function of membrane ion channels with special emphasis on inherited nervous system channel disorders or channelopathies. RESULTS Channels are pores in the cell membrane. Through these pores ions flow across the membrane and depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell.

[Intracellular calcium: physiology and physiopathology].

Vitamin A or beta-carotene supplementation reduces symptoms of illness in pregnant and lactating Nepali women.

Only registered users can translate articles

The contribution of nutritional interventions to the reduction in maternal morbidity rates in developing countries is not well known. We assessed the impact of weekly vitamin A and beta-carotene supplementation on the prevalence of pregnancy and postpartum illness symptoms among 15,832 Nepali women

Voltage-gated ion channels and hereditary disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

By the introduction of technological advancement in methods of structural analysis, electronics, and recombinant DNA techniques, research in physiology has become molecular. Additionally, focus of interest has been moving away from classical physiology to become increasingly centered on mechanisms
