Electron probe microanalysis was applied to study the kinetics of changes in potassium and sodium concentration in muscle cells of isolated heart from Wistar rat during experimental ischemia. Hypoxic perfusion without glucose was shown to evoke the potassium deficiency and sodium accumulation in cardiac myocells. Short-term action (10 min) of strophanthin (0.1 mM/l) recovered Na/K balance in ischemic myocells. Hypothermic perfusion exhibited the opportunity to conserve the cytoplasmic elemental contents in the state corresponding to the beginning of low temperature (4 degrees C) operation.

β3-adrenergic agonist counters oxidative stress and Na-K pump inhibitory S-glutathionylation of placental cells: implications for preeclampsia.

Oxidative stress from placental ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in preeclampsia is accompanied by Na-K pump inhibition and S-glutathionylation of its β1 subunit (GSS-β1), a modification that inhibits the pump. β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonists can reverse GSS-β1. We examined the effects of the agonist CL316,243 on GSS-β1 and sources of H/R-induced oxidative stress in immortalized first-trimester human trophoblast (HTR-8/SVneo) and freshly isolated placental explants from normal-term pregnancies.

Due to nonspecific pathological changes and the rapid degradation of insulin in postmortem blood samples, the identification of the cause of death during insulin overdose has always been a difficulty in forensic medicine. At present, there is a lack of studies on the toxicological changes and related mechanisms of an insulin overdose, and the specific molecular markers of insulin overdose are still unclear. In this study, an animal model of insulin overdose was established, and 24 SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, insulin overdose group, and a recovery group ( = 8).

Inhibition of Na/K-ATPase is a promising cancer treatment owing to the essential role of Na/K-ATPase in maintaining various cellular functions. The potent Na/K-ATPase inhibitor, vanadate(V) (termed as V(V)), has exhibited efficient anticancer effects. However, nonspecific inhibition using V(V) results in serious side effects, which hinder its clinical application.

Matrix vesicles (MVs) contain the whole machinery necessary to initiate apatite formation in their lumen. We suspected that, in addition to tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), Na,K,-ATPase (NKA) could be involved in supplying phopshate (P) in the early stages of MV-mediated mineralization. MVs were extracted from the growth plate cartilage of chicken embryos.
