R. Medina et al., EFFECT OF WATER DIURESIS AND WATER RESTRICTION ON EXPRESSION OF HSPS-27, HSPS-60 AND HSPS-70 IN RAT-KIDNEY, Kidney international, 50(4), 1996, pp. 1191-1194
Expression of HSP-27, HSP-60 and HSP-70 was estimated in the cortex, o
uter medulla and inner medulla (papilla) of rats undergoing water diur
esis or water restriction for two days. The mRNAs for HSP-27 and HSP-6
0 in renal papilla were two- to threefold greater in rats during water
restriction than in those excreting a dilute urine, but levels of mRN
A for HSP-70 were nor reduced by water diuresis and Western analysis f
or HSP-70 protein showed no difference between water-loaded and water-
restricted animals.
