      Studies have shown a promoting effect of food on small intestinal absorption. Casein hydrolysate seems be more effective in increasing of D-xylose absorption in dogs than the whole protein and lactulose. The purpose this ...
    • Bonilla, Silvia; Goecke Sariego, Irmgadt; Bozzo, Salvador; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Marusic, Elisa (1991)
      Previous studies have suggested that an alteration in the expression of the NaK-ATPase of muscle may be an important determinant of enhanced insulin sensitivity in chronic renal failure. Therefore, in the present studies ...
    • Michea Acevedo, Luis; Delpiano Barriga, Ana María; Hitschfeld, C.; Lobos González, Lorena; Lavandero González, Sergio; Marusic, Elisa (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2005-03)
      There is increasing evidence for rapid nongenomic effects of aldosterone. Aldosterone has been demonstrated to alter intracellular pH and calcium in isolated cells. However, few studies have correlated these effects with ...
    • Toro, Luis; Barrientos, Víctor; León, Pablo; Rojas, Macarena; González, Magdalena; González Ibáñez, Álvaro; Illanes, Sebastián E.; Sugikawa, Keigo; Abarzu, Néstor; Bascuñán, César; Arcos, Katherine; Fuentealba, Carlos; Tong, Ana María; Elorza, Alvaro A.; Pinto, María Eugenia; Alzamora Miranda, Rodrigo; Romero, Carlos; Michea Acevedo, Luis (Elsevier, 2018)
      It is accepted that osteoblasts/osteocytes are the major source for circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). However, erythropoietic cells of bone marrow also express FGF23. The modulation of FGF23 expression in ...
    • Arriagada, Alejandro A.; Albornoz, Eduardo; Opazo, María Cecilia; Becerra, Álvaro; Vidal, Gonzalo; Fardella, Carlos; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Carrasco, Nancy; Simón, Felipe; Elorza, Álvaro A.; Bueno, Susan M.; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Riedel, Claudia A. (Endocrine Society, 2015)
      Na+/I- symporter (NIS) mediates iodide (I-) uptake in the thyroid gland, the first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of the thyroid hormones. The expression and function of NIS in thyroid cells is mainly regulated ...
    • Tapia Castillo, Alejandra; Carvajal, Cristian; Campino, Carmen; Hill, Caroline; Allende, Fidel; Vecchiola, Andrea; Carrasco, Carmen; Bancalari, Rodrigo; Valdivia, Carolina; Lagos, Carlos; Martínez Aguayo, Alejandro; García, Hernán; Aglony, Marlene; Baudrand, René; Kalergis, Alexis; Michea Acevedo, Luis; Riedel, Claudia; Fardella, Carlos (Oxford University Press, 2015)
      BACKGROUND Rac1 upregulation has been implicated in salt-sensitive hypertension as a modulator of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activity. Rac1 could affect the expression of oxidative stress markers, such as ...
