The effect of an aerobic exercise program and two hypocaloric diets of different carbohydrate content on blood pressure and sodium balance in obese females
… concommitant with an aerobic exercise program on sodium (Na) balance and blood pressure changes. Subjects participated three times a week in a submaximal periodic exercise session and were placed on one of the diets for 28 days. Posttreatment, each participant consumed a 1000 kcal mixed diet while …

Uncovering the Critical Amino Acids in the Beta Bubunit of the Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC)
A high intake of sodium into the body can lead to high blood pressure that could result to stroke, kidney and heart disease. Sodium balance in the body is partially regulated in the distal tubules of the nephron in the kidney via a membrane channel called the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). The …

Sodium and glucose transport across the in vitro perfused midgut of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun
… of the present study are: (1) to investigate sodium transport across the midgut as well as the hindgut of Callinectes sapidus and the functioning of these two regions of the gut in osmotic and ionic regulation of the animal, and (2) to elucidate the mechanism of glucose absorption across the …

Signal Transduction Mechanisms Mediating the Regulation of Vascular G Protein-Coupled Receptors
… activity represents a delicate, but coordinated balance between molecular mechanisms governing receptor signaling, desensitization, and re-sensitization. GPCR kinase 2 (GRK2) modulates multiple cellular responses through GPCR desensitization and alterations in GRK2 activity are considered to play …

Effect of sodium chloride supplementation on serum sodium concentration, cardiovascular function, and physical and cognitive performance
These studies determined the effects of sodium chloride supplementation on serum and sweat sodium concentration, cardiovascular function, and physical and cognitive performance. Sweat sodium losses, alone, caused a significant decline in serum sodium concentration (-6.4±1.6 mEq/L, p=0.001) during …

Role of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptors in Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
Sodium imbalance, inflammation and oxidative stress are believed to contribute to hypertension in obesity/diabetes. The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is the major hormonal system which affects sodium balance, oxidative stress and inflammation mainly via activation of Angiotensin II- AT1 receptors. …

Renal Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) Regulation of Pregnancy Mediated Hemodynamic Adaptations: Mechanistic Insights
<p>Pregnancy-mediated sodium (Na) retention is required to provide an increase in plasma volume for the growing fetus. The mechanisms responsible for this Na retention are not clear. In the first study, we generated a renal tubule protein profile indicating α ENaC as the only sodium transport …
