Urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and some hormones influencing their transport was investigated before and after i.v. furosemide administration in 10 offsprings of normotensive subjects who had a normal Na(+)-K+ cotransport activity and in 26 normotensive men with a positive family history of essential hypertension. The latter group was divided into two subgroups with regard to the activity of red cell Na(+)-K+ cotransport. The Co[-] subjects with a decreased Na(+)-K+ cotransport activity had lower urinary excretion of sodium and vasodilators (kallikrein, dopamine, PGE2 and prostacyclin) after furosemide administration. The urinary excretion of vasopressor factors (PGF2 alpha, thromboxane) was unchanged as compared with that in the control group. There was a significant correlation between Na(+)-K+ cotransport activity and kallikrein excretion. These results suggest a deficit in the secretion of renal substances with vasodilating or natriuretic effects in Co[-] subjects. This could negatively affect their sodium excretion.

Dapagliflozin, a new type of drug used to treat diabetes mellitus (DM), is a sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. Although some studies showed that SGLT2 inhibition attenuated reactive oxygen generation in diabetic kidney the role of SGLT2 inhibition is unknown. We evaluated whether SLT2 inhibition has renoprotective effects in ischemia-reperfusion (IR) models.

Background: Although estradiol has been thought to perform an important role in blood pressure regulation, the effects of estradiol on the expression of renal sodium transporters are not fully understood.
Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with 17β-estradiol or vehicle for 10 days after ovariectomy, and after both ovariectomy and adrenalectomy to eliminate the effect of aldosterone.
Results: In the ovariectomized (OVX) rats, estradiol decreased the abundance of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) (31.

Dietary potassium is an important modulator of systemic blood pressure (BP). The purpose of this study was to determine whether dietary potassium is associated with an altered abundance of major renal sodium transporters that may contribute to the modulation of systemic BP. A unilateral nephrectomy (uNx) was performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats, and the rats were fed a normal-salt diet (0.

Background: In chronic renal failure (CRF), residual nephrons can increase their excretion of sodium (Na) and potassium (K). However, the mechanisms of renal Na and K regulation in late-stage CRF have not been clearly investigated.
Methods: We examined altered expression of major renal Na and K transporters in Sprague-Dawley rats at 4 and 12 weeks after a 5/6 nephrectomy.

Background: The relationship between SLC12A3 mutations and actual sodium-chloride (Na-Cl) cotransporter (NCC) expression in patients with Gitelman syndrome (GS) was rarely evaluated. Detection of urinary thiazide-sensitive NCC was not tried in patients with GS.
