Loss-of-function mutations of progranulin are associated with frontotemporal dementia in humans, and its deficiency in mice is a model for this disease but with normal life expectancy and mild cognitive decline on aging. The present study shows that aging progranulin deficient mice develop

Papillary plasma flow (PPF) was measured by the albumin accumulation technique in rats of the Brattleboro strain with or without diabetes insipidus (DI and HZ respectively) and in Wistar rats. Measurements were also performed in DI rats receiving antidiuretic hormone for 30 min or 5 days and in

Virusencephalitis is characterised by clinical symptoms of a parenchymatous inflammation. In addition, early mental status changes often occur as a result of virusencephalitis, beside focal neurological deficiencies, epileptic seizures, cerebral compression, even coma. Other pathological

Rabbits immunized with lysine-vasopressin bovine serum albumin conjugate showed the diabetes insipidus syndrome intermittently manifested by polyuria and polydipsia with various degrees of peaking from the eighth to fourteenth day post injection during boosters. The antibody-antidiuretic hormone

BACKGROUND A recent study has revealed that acute and chronic administration of the vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) agonist dDAVP induced a marked increase of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in healthy rats and humans (Bardoux P et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2003; 18: 497-506). The occurrence of an

BACKGROUND An increase in urinary albumin excretion (UAE) represents an early predictor of glomerular damage in diabetes mellitus (DM) and a risk factor for cardiovascular complications in hypertension. Vasopressin is elevated in DM and in some forms of hypertension. Previous studies in rats

The progress in organ transplantation has led to a rise in the demand for organs. Paediatric intensive care units are the main source for obtaining organs. Every "brain dead" patient should be regarded as a potential donor. General contraindications to organ donation are: systemic viral or bacterial

OBJECTIVE: To develop radioimmunoassay for aquaporin-2 (AQP-2). METHODS: Anti-AQP-2 antiserum has been raised in New Zealand white rabbits immunized with a conjugate of synthetic AQP-2 peptide (257-271) with bovine serum albumin. Radioiodination of synthetic peptide (tyrosine-AQP2 (257-271) was

To describe clinical characteristics of diabetes mellitus (DM) in a group of patients with Wolfram Syndrome (WS). Descriptive, cross-sectional observational design. The sample consisted of 50 patients diagnosed with WS. Clinical criteria contributing to WS diagnosis were analyzed: diabetes mellitus

The antitumor effect of DAB (L-2,4 diaminobuturic acid) has been demonstrated in a previous study. Severe side-effects (especially weight loss and severe neurological symptoms) accompanying DAB treatment have raised the theory that DAB, through a direct effect on the hypothalamus, might cause a

Diabetic nephropathy represents a major complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), and the origin of this complication is poorly understood. Vasopressin (VP), which is elevated in type I and type II DM, has been shown to increase glomerular filtration rate in normal rats and to contribute to
