Poor Kidney Function Linked to Brain Disorders


A 2,645 person, population-based study conducted by researchers from Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands highlights a link between poor kidney function and brain disorders. The scientists uncovered an intriguing association between poor kidney function and decreased blood supply to the brain. They also found that those participants with diminished kidney function and decreased … Continue reading Poor Kidney Function Linked to Brain Disorders

Researchers Find Brain Pathway That Regulates Renal Excretion of Sodium


Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have identified a link between the G alpha i-2 sub-unit protein pathway in the brain and renal excretion of sodium. They found that changes in salt intake affected changes in G alpha i-2 sub-unit protein levels and were able to prove that the protein pathway plays an important … Continue reading Researchers Find Brain Pathway That Regulates Renal Excretion of Sodium
