Regenerative medicine, defines a new concept related to strategies to restore damaged tissue or accelerate tissue repair after injury. The tissue reconstruction and repair, however, constitute a major challenge of the current biomedical research since the cellular mechanisms underlying tissue reconstruction and repair are still poorly understood and largely unknown. Multipotent stem cells…
Pregnancy is characterized by maternal systemic and intrarenal vasodilation, leading to increases in the renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These responses are mainly mediated by nitric oxide (NO) and relaxin. The impact of cigarette smoking on the maternal adaptations to pregnancy is unclear. Here we evaluated the effects of chronic exposure to nicotine on syst…
Exposure to nicotine causes several changes in renal function, including reduction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) and increased renal vascular resistance. The tubular transport of ions is also affected by the effect of nicotine. The effects of prenatal exposure to nicotine on fetal development are well known, but few studies are directed to the maternal ef…
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is recognized as a powerful determinant of homeostasis and cardiovascular and renal hemodynamics. The relationship between the RAS physiology and renal and cardiovascular diseases is far from being understood. Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for high morbidity and mortality index in most countries. Among the various risk factors are the topics ad…

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common clinical syndrome. Drug-induced renal injury is one of the most common causes of ARF, especially in Intensive Care Units. Among the various nephrotoxic agents, there may be mentioned bactericidal aminoglycoside antimicrobials, such as gentamicin. The main target of renal injury induced by these antibiotics is the proximal tubular cell, which is highly…
