The occupancy of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors of the ANPA type in human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1 cells elevates cGMP. In this study, ANP concentrations of 10 nM or more increased total K+ uptake. Data obtained in the presence of bumetanide and/or ouabain demonstrated that 1 microM ANP induced a primary stimulation (by 82%) of Na-K-Cl cotransport and a subsequent indirect stimulation (by 15%) of Na,K-ATPase. ANP also inhibited Na/H exchange through an amiloride-sensitive mechanism, as shown by intracellular pH measurement in cells challenged or not by an acid or alkaline load. (Bu)2cGMP mimicked all ANP effects, suggesting that ANP acted through a cGMP-dependent mechanism.

Differential regulation of KCC2 and NKCC1 expression by zolpidem in CA1 and CA3 hippocampal subregions of the lithium-pilocarpine status epilepticus rat model.

Status epilepticus is linked to cognitive decline due to damage to the hippocampus, a key structure involved in cognition. The hippocampus's high vulnerability to epilepsy-related damage is the main reason for this impairment. Convulsive seizures, such as those observed in status epilepticus, can cause various hippocampal pathologies, including inflammation, abnormal neurogenesis, and neuronal death.

Article Synopsis
- Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in an enzyme, leading to accumulation of certain lipids in body cells and impacting the gastrointestinal (GI) system, often manifesting early in the disease.
- The study aimed to explore how the lipid lyso-Gb affects ion transport and motility in mouse colons, finding that it increases colonic ion transport without relying on chloride ions or involving the enteric nervous system.
- Results suggest that while lyso-Gb affects ion transport in the colon, other factors may be needed to cause the severe GI issues seen in Fabry disease patients.

Article Synopsis
- Thallium (Tl) is a highly toxic heavy metal linked to accidental poisoning and can cause severe health issues including kidney failure.
- In a study on rats, intraperitoneal administration of Tl led to significant kidney dysfunction, characterized by high calcium deposits and mitochondrial issues in a specific kidney region called the medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL).
- The research found that inhibiting a specific kidney transporter helped reduce Tl accumulation and its damaging effects, which could lead to new treatment strategies for Tl poisoning and improve diagnostic methods for related kidney damage.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in acute damage and triggers secondary injury responses with sustained neuronal loss and dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanisms for these delayed neuronal pathologies are not entirely understood. SCI results in the swelling of spinal neurons, but the contribution of cell swelling to neuronal loss and functional deficits after SCI has not been systematically characterized.

Aim: We aimed to explore whether the combination of CLP290 and bumetanide maximally improves neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury (SCI) and its possible molecular mechanism.
Methods: Rats were randomly divided into five groups: Sham, SCI + vehicle, SCI + CLP290, SCI + bumetanide, and SCI + combination (CLP290 + bumetanide). Drug administration commenced on the 7th day post-injury (7 dpi) and continued for 14 days.
