ABSTRACT

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) is a potent activator of intracellular Ca2+ release in several vertebrate and invertebrate systems. The role of the NAADP system in physiological processes is being extensively investigated at the present time. The NAADP receptor and its associated Ca2+ pool have been hypothesized to be important in several physiological processes including fertilization, T cell activation, and pancreatic secretion. However, whether NAADP is a new second messenger or a tool for the discovery of a new Ca2+ channel is still an unanswered question. Research developed over the last two years has provided some important clues to whether NAADP is or not a physiological cellular messenger. In this short review, I will discuss some of these new findings that are helping us to find an answer to the important question: Is NAADP a second messenger or not?.

ABSTRACT

El mayor componente de la nutrición parenteral total(NPT) se encuentra representado por el agua y los electrolitos dos elementos esenciales para la vida. El agua se encuentra distribuida en el cuerpo humano en dos grandes compartamientos: intracelular y extracelular, este último se divide en tres espacios: plasmático, intersticial-linfático y transcelular (líquido cefalorraquídeo, intestinal y renal). Contribuye al 80 por ciento del peso corporal total del prematuro, al 70 por ciento del recién nacido a término y aproximadamente al 60 por ciento en el adulto. La disminución se debe a la sustitución del agua por grasa a medida que crece el individuo. Así tenemos que la concentración del agua corporal total en el recién nacido sufre un descenso de 3 a 5 por ciento en los primeros tres a cinco días de vida, alcanzando los valores del adulto al año de edad
