4. Impaired renal Na+ retention in the sgk1-knockout mouse
The serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (sgk1) is induced by mineralocorticoids and, in turn, upregulates heterologously expressed renal epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) activity in Xenopus oocytes. Accordingly, Sgk1 is considered to mediate the mineralocorticoid stimulation of renal ENaC activity and antinatriuresis. Here we show that at standard NaCl i

We therefore conducted a survey of the smoking practices in three such townships in Cape Town, in which 673 higher primary schoolc

9. Characterization of a CO: heterodisulfide oxidoreductase system from acetate-grown Methanosarcina thermophila.
During the methanogenic fermentation of acetate by Methanosarcina thermophila, the CO dehydrogenase complex cleaves acetyl coenzyme A and oxidizes the carbonyl group (or CO) to CO2, followed by electron transfer to coenzyme M (CoM)-S-S-coenzyme B (CoB) and reduction of this heterodisulfide to HS-CoM and HS-CoB (A.
