Verotoxins induce apoptosis in human renal tubular epithelium derived cells.

abstract：:Dopamine plays an important role in regulation of renal sodium transport. Proximal tubule cells produce dopamine after decarboxylation of L-DOPA via the enzyme aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). The presence and cellular localization of AADC-like immunoreactivity (-LI) and AADC mRNA were examined during pre- ...
