Modulation of Na-K-ATPase activity in the mouse medullary thick ascending limb of Henle. Effects of mineralocorticoids and sodium.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of variations in mineralocorticoid as well as cell sodium delivery and uptake on Na-K-ATPase activity in the mouse medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (mTALH). Pharmacologic doses of the mineralocorticoid deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) resulted in a 28% increase of Na-K-ATPase activity. Furosemide-induced inhibition of sodium uptake by the mTALH cell also resulted in Na-K-ATPase activity reduction (45%). Sodium deprivation did not cause a clear change in enzyme activity, either at 3 d or 2 wk, likely reflecting the result of the opposing influences of decreased sodium delivery and increased endogenous aldosterone. Finally, the behavior of Na-K-ATPase activity at 3 d of sodium deprivation in the mTALH contrasted with a 60% increase in activity observed in the cortical collecting tubule, a nephron segment known to be responsive to mineralocorticoid, and this heterogeneity of response may suggest an important role for the mTALH in maintaining salt homeostasis.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
