1 Renal endothelin-1 participates in sodium and water handling, and its urinary excretion is increased in sodium-retentive states. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
2 Renal endothelin-1 participates in sodium and water handling, and its urinary excretion is increased in sodium-retentive states. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
3 In the renal cortex, low sodium diet caused a 194% increase in prepro-endothelin-1 mRNA (P<0.05), whereas endothelin-converting enzyme-1 type B and type A receptors remained unchanged. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
4 In conclusion, during low sodium diet, renal prepro-endothelin-1 synthesis increases mainly in the renal cortex (where no changes in receptors occur), whereas type B receptor is selectively enhanced in the renal medulla. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
