Expression and localization of epithelial sodium channel in mammalian urinary bladder.
The mammalian urinary bladder exhibits transepithelial Na+ absorption that contributes to Na+ gradients established by the kidney. Electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that electrogenic Na+ absorption across the urinary bladder is mediated in part by amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels situated within the apical membrane of the bladder epithelium. We have used a combination of in situ hy...
متن کاملIncreased renal ENaC subunits and sodium retention in rats with chronic heart failure.
Renal tubular dysfunction could be involved in the increased sodium and water reabsorption in chronic heart failure (CHF). The goal of the present study was to examine the molecular basis for the increased renal sodium and water retention in CHF. We hypothesized that dysregulation of renal epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) could be involved in the pathogenesis of CHF. The left coronary ligation...
متن کاملEpithelial Na⁺ sodium channels in magnocellular cells of the rat supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei.
The epithelial Na⁺ channels (ENaCs) are present in kidney and contribute to Na⁺ and water homeostasis. All three ENaC subunits (α, β, and γ) were demonstrated in the cardiovascular regulatory centers of the rat brain, including the magnocellular neurons (MNCs) in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). However, the functional significance of ENaCs in vasopressin (VP)...
متن کاملSub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α, β and γ in the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone has been reported to cause blood pressure to increase. However mechanisms that underlie the effect of this hormone on this physiological parameter are currently not well understood. The aims of this study were to investigate effects of testosterone on expression of α, β and γ-epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) proteins and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in kidneys, the channel known to be in...
متن کاملAcute effects of aldosterone on the epithelial Na channel in rat kidney.
The acute effects of aldosterone administration on epithelial Na channels (ENaC) in rat kidney were examined using electrophysiology and immunodetection. Animals received a single injection of aldosterone (20 μg/kg body wt), which reduced Na excretion over the next 3 h. Channel activity was assessed in principal cells of cortical collecting ducts as amiloride-sensitive whole cell clamp current ...
