Abstract excerpt
The onset of metabolic acidosis causes an increased transcription of the renal phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) gene. When transgenic mice carrying a bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene driven by the -460 to +73 segment of the PCK promoter were made chronically acidotic, the bGH mRNA was increased twofold after 4 days. Confluent and well-differentiated cultures of LLC-PK1-F+ cells exhibit a 2.5-fold increase...
