“…Of interest, aldosterone did not increase the expression of the epithelial sodium channel. Thus, angiotensin II has an additive effect to aldosterone in the activation of the epithelial sodium channel, similar to what we showed for the sodium chloride cotransporter [3,4]. All in all, the net effect of the renin-angiotensin system is to make the kidneys retain sodium and water.…”

“…It is increasingly recognized, however, that AII also directly affects renal epithelia. AT1R is present throughout the nephron (40), and signaling increases activities of the sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 in the proximal tubule, NKCC2 in the TAL, NCC of the DCT, and ENaC in the CNT and CD (41)(42)(43)(44). AII also regulates phosphorylation and activity of MR in renal intercalated cells, allowing induction of a transcellular Cl − reabsorption pathway (14).…”

“…18,[59][60][61] Kidneys were cut into thin slices (,1 mm), with slices placed into ice-cold physiologic saline solution buffered with HEPES (pH 7.4). The CD was visually identified by its morphologic features (pale color, coarse surface, and, in some cases, bifurcations) and was mechanically isolated from kidney slices by microdissection using watchmaker forceps under a stereomicroscope.…”
