Opioid mechanisms controlling renal function.

abstract：:Despite the presence of many studies on the role of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) in cardiorenal tissues, the definitive role of mTOR in the pathogenesis of renal injury subsequent to ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) remains unclear. The aims of the current study were to characterize the role of mTOR in normal kidn...
