Gene electrotransfer: potential for gene therapy of renal diseases.

abstract：:Growth failure is a cardinal feature of chronic renal failure in children. Administration of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) ameliorates this problem but may adversely affect the kidney and hasten the progression to end-stage renal disease. We conducted experiments to examine the impact of rhGH on the severity...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Endothelium-derived nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been proposed to regulate vascular tone by complex mechanisms, including the modulation of ion channel function. In endothelial function itself, activation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels (KCa) plays a crucial role by inducing hyperpolariz...
