Renal acidification was studied in eight patients with Addison's disease or bilateral adrenalectomy receiving glucocorticoid replacement only and without renal insufficiency (group I); in five patients with hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism and moderate chronic renal insufficiency (group II), and in nine control subjects (group III). During acidosis minimal urine pH was 5.4 or less in all subjects, but excretion of ammonium and titratable acid was moderately reduced in group I and markedly reduced in group II. Bicarbonate excretion at normal serum bicarbonate concentration was trivial in group I subjects and inappropriately elevated in two group II patients.

Magnesium ions regulate the Warburg effect to promote the differentiation of enteric neural crest cells into neurons.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Background: Understanding how enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) differentiate into neurons is crucial for neurogenesis therapy and gastrointestinal disease research. This study explores how magnesium ions regulate the glycolytic pathway to enhance ENCCs differentiation into neurons.
Materials And Methods: We used polymerase chain reaction, western blot, immunofluorescence, and multielectrode array techniques to assess magnesium ions' impact on ENCCs differentiation.

Amino acids are the basic structural units of life, and their intake levels affect disease and health. In the case of renal disease, alterations in amino acid metabolism can be used not only as a clinical indicator of renal disease but also as a therapeutic strategy. However, the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of natural chiral amino acids in human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) remain unclear.

BACKGROUND Toluene poisoning can occur as a result of occupational exposure in industries such as painting, as well as through misuse, leading to complications such as neurological symptoms due to the accumulation of the metabolic byproduct of hippuric acid and metabolic acidosis. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Hippuric acid is not removed by dialysis, so urinary excretion plays a central role.

Background: Serine/glycine are critical for the growth and survival of cancer cells. Some cancer cells are more dependent on exogenous serine/glycine than endogenously synthesized serine/glycine. However, the function and underlying mechanisms of exogenous serine/glycine in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unclear.

Sensitization of primary afferents is essential for the development of pain, but the molecular events involved in this process and its reversal are poorly defined. Recent studies revealed that acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) control the excitability of nociceptors in the urinary bladder. Using genetic and pharmacological tools we show that ASICs are functionally coupled with voltage-gated Ca channels to mediate Ca transients evoked by acidification in sensory neurons.
