Contreras, Andrés; Martínez, Ramón; Devés, Rosa; Marusic, Elisa (1986)Marked differences in the activities of three monovalent cation transport systems in horse versus human erythrocytes are reported. Whereas horse erythrocytes exhibit a 6-fold higher sodium-lithium countertransport, the ...

Espinoza, Francisco; Kunstmann, Sonia; Urzúa Manchego, Álvaro; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Marusic, Elisa; Vukusich, Antonio (2012)Background: Hemodialysis patients (HD) display high rates of cardiac disease and mortality. The cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of HD patients is attributable in a signifi cant proportion to endothelial dysfunction, ...

Foster, Richard; Lobo, Maria V.; Rasmussen, Howard; Marusic, Elisa (1981)The role of calcium in the angiotensin II- or potassium-mediated increase in aldosterone production was analyzed in isolated glomerulosa cells prepared from bovine adrenal glands. The response to potassium was highly ...

Michea Acevedo, Luis; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam; Morales, Helia; Brito, Julio; Peters, Gabriela; Marusic, Elisa (1997)Background: Sodium and potassium ions are involved in the regulation of blood pressure and the genesis of hypertension. Aim: To assess internal potassium balance, as a measure of sodium pump activity, in subjects with ...
-
Lobo, Maria V.; Marusic, Elisa (1991)Angiotensin II acts on adrenal glomerulosa cells to induce the phospholipase C-mediated generation of inositol trisphosphate and sn-1,2-diacyglycerol as the major products of inositol phospholipid breakdown. This last ...

Goecke Sariego, Irmgadt; Bonilla, Silvia; Marusic, Elisa; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam (Blackwell Publishing Inc., 1991)Translocation of potassium to the intracellular compartment is impaired in advanced chronic renal failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of endogenous insulin in the disposal of an oral potassium load ...

Further studies on the relationship between potassium and sodium levels and adrenocortical activity Lobo, Victoria; Marusic, Elisa; Aguilera, Greti (1978)Steroid production in vitro by dog adrenal cortical slices was measured in the presence of varying concentrations of sodium and potassium ions. Increasing concentrations of potassium produced a signincant increase in the ...

Goecke Sariego, Irmgadt; Kusanovic, Juan Pedro; Serrano, Mariano; Charlin, Tomas; Zuniga, Alvaro; Marusic, Elisa (1998)The properties of the Na/K pump and Na, K, Cl cotransporter were studied in vascular tissue of two-kidney Goldblatt hypertensive rats. These transport systems were measured as ouabain-sensitive and bumetanide-sensitive ...
-
López, J. M.; Rodríguez, J. A.; Marusic, Elisa (1980)The acute adrenal response to potassium chloride and angiotensin II (A II) infusions was studied in hypopituitary patients and compared with normal subjects. The peripheral plasma levels of aldosterone (PAC), cortisol (F), ...
-
Aguilera, Greti; Marusic, Elisa (1971)Acute infusions of angiotensin II or dog renin into hypophysectomized nephrectomized dogs has no effect on the conversion of corticosterone to aldosterone. This conversion was measured in an isolated mitochondrial fraction ...

Bofill, Pilar; Goecke Sariego, Irmgadt; Bonilla, Silvia; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam; Marusic, Elisa (Nature Publishing Group, 1994)Chronic renal failure in the rat is associated with an impaired extrarenal potassium handling, whereas a renal adaptive mechanism of the remaining nephrons has been described. To understand the molecular basis of potassium ...
