The signalling pathways allowing hormonal regulation of Na+ transport in murine collecting duct cells
… by measuring equivalent short circuit current (Ieq). Selective inhibition of PI3-kinase, mTORC2 and SGK1 left ~80 % of the current intact, indicating these signalling molecules are not required for basal Na+ transport. Acute addition of insulin stimulated Ieq and this occurred with a concomitant …
