Resolvin D - 1 attenuated the signs of kidney inflammation that were seen in heart - attack mice not given the bioactive mediator — the non-resolvin D - 1 animals had distorted kidney morphology, enhanced levels of the kidney injury marker NGAL and diminished amounts of nephrin — a protein necessary for proper functioning of the kidney — in the podocytes of the kidney filtering structure.

In the Nature Communications study, UTSW researchers also reported how miR - 17 causes cyst proliferation: the molecule essentially reprograms the metabolism of kidney cells so that cellular structures called mitochondria use less nutrients, freeing up resources to instead make cell parts that become cysts.

With the loss of the cushioning effect provided by free - moving collagen in the blood vessels, the force of the surge of blood that is driven into the arteries by the pumping action of the heart is carried directly to organs like the kidneys and the brain, damaging to the structures that filter our blood and that connect the functional regions of our brain, and putting us at risk of a stroke.

This lesson has been designed to act as an introduction to the anatomy of the kidney before students move on to study each structure of the nephron in more detail.
