The frequently used mouse model of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-colitis was used to model inflammation ... Conclusions Claudin-1 helps regulate intestinal epithelial homeostasis through the regulation ...

Sodium is an electrolyte that helps regulate water levels and other bodily substances. Low sodium levels, or hyponatremia, can lead to lethargy, confusion, fatigue, and other symptoms. Treating ...

Objectives NFIL3 is a key immunological transcription factor, with knockout mice studies identifying functional roles in multiple immune cell types. Despite the importance of NFIL3, little is known ...

Objective Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play essential roles in maintaining gut health and are associated with IBD. This study is to elucidate the effect of angiogenin (ANG), an intestine-secreted AMP ...

A high content of sodium-containing salts in the soil is a problem for many plants: as a result, they grow less well, or not at all. Soil salinisation is seen as one of the greatest threats to being ...

Many food sources are loaded with essential minerals and salts that can keep your electrolyte levels in a healthy range. Table salt is sodium chloride, so foods with added salt provide both of these ...

Within the kidney, SIRT1 is extensively expressed in podocytes and tubular cells. Its substantial expression in aquaporin 2-positive cells within the rat distal nephron suggests a potential role ...

It also plays a role in immune homeostasis, as local tryptophan catabolism impairs T-lymphocyte mediated immunity. Therefore, tryptophan plasmatic concentration needs to be stable, in spite of large ...
