Molecular cloning, expression, and characterization of a fifth melanocortin receptor.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chronic hypoxia plays an important role in the initiation and progression of chronic renal disease. The pathogenic role of chronic hypoxia in tubulointerstitial injury has been investigated widely, but little is known about acute hypoxia implications in glomerular damage. In this study, we investigated the e...
