(2) There was no difference in plasma immunoreactive (ir) ACTH or ir-ANP concentrations between sham and AUN rats 120 min after the procedure, but plasma ir-NTF concentration was double in AUN rats compared with sham (P < 0.03).
(3) Acute unilateral nephrectomy (AUN) results in natriuresis from the remaining kidney through reflex pathways involving the central nervous system and requiring an intact pituitary gland.
(4) In dogs in which prostaglandin synthesis was inhibited by indomethacin or meclofenamate, AUN led to an increase in UKV but without any increase in UNaV or UHCO3V.
(5) Aun, the Komen spokeswoman, said such pressure tactics were not the reason for the funding cutoff and cited Stearns' House investigation as a key factor.
(6) Surgical denervation of either the ipsilateral or the contralateral kidney markedly alters the response to AUN, which prevents the natriuresis and blunts the kaliuresis, and indicates a role for renal neural reflexes.
(7) Studies were carried out in anesthetized dogs to characterize the increase in cation excretion which occurs after acute unilateral nephrectomy (AUN).
(8) To assess the importance of these hemodynamic changes in the renal response, AUN in a separate group of dogs was accompanied by the simultaneous opening of a surgically created femoral artery-to-vein fistula at flow matching the blood flow to the removed kidney.
(9) Group I experiments followed the course of sodium excretion (UNaV) for 120 min after AUN or sham nephrectomy.
(10) In dogs made acutely acidotic by intravenous infusion of dilute HCl, AUN led to comparable increase in UNaV and UKV, but with increased UClV and only a trivial change in UHCO3V.
(11) Yet the natriuresis after AUN is known to be related to an increase in the plasma concentration of a gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone (gamma-MSH)-like peptide.
(12) We conclude that volume expansion amplifies the natriuretic response to AUN by decreasing reabsorption in the proximal or distal nephron, or both.
(13) These results demonstrate that the reflex increase in cation excretion after AUN is dependent on an intact pituitary gland and is associated with an increase in peripheral plasma concentration of NTF.
(14) These results indicate that the effect of naloxone to block the reflex natriuresis and kaliuresis after AUN resides largely in the central nervous system.
(15) Redfern and Aune aimed at feminist groups that was started in 2000.
(16) UNaV more than doubled within 60 min of AUN, and this natriuresis was maintained for the remainder of the experiment, whereas UNaV in sham rats did not change.
(17) Aun, in a telephone interview, said Komen was not accusing Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing.
(18) NTF, or some other peptide residing in the N-terminal portion of POMC, could promote the natriuresis after AUN; the importance of the pituitary gland in this response could be the secretion of this peptide.
(19) We measured plasma immunoreactive NTF-like material (IR-NTF) before and after AUN in control rats and rats treated neonatally with monosodium glutamate (MSG), a procedure that produces neuroendocrine dysfunction by destroying cell bodies in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, median eminence, and other brain regions.
(20) Both acute unilateral nephrectomy (AUN) and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) result in an acute increase in cation excretion from the contralateral kidney.

(9) Environmental monitoring of surface waters around Lancaster showed that thermophilic campylobacters were absent from drinking water from the fells and from the clean upper reaches of the River Conder but were present in the main rivers entering Morecambe Bay, the lower reaches of the River Conder, the Lancaster canal, and seawater from the Lune estuary and Morecambe Bay.
(10) The surface was defined from histological sections and flattened by tiling it with small triangular tiles which were then laid in a single plane to form several flat strips or lunes.
