title: Effect of water diuresis and water restriction on expression of HSPs-27, -60 and -70 in rat kidney.
abstract: Expression of HSP-27, HSP-60 and HSP-70 was estimated in the cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla (papilla) of rats undergoing water diuresis or water restriction for two days. The mRNAs for HSP-27 and HSP-60 in renal papilla were two- to threefold greater in rats during water restriction than in those excreting a dilute urine, but levels of mRNA for HSP-70 were not reduced by water diuresis and Western analysis for HSP-70 protein showed no difference between water-loaded and water-restricted animals.
