Q

What is the relationship between the regulation of body Na+ and Na+ homeostasis?

A

Na+ Excretion = Filtered Na+ - Tubular reabsorption of Na+

Q

How do prostaglandins affect the tubular reabsorption of Na+?

Q

How does atrial natriuretic peptide affect the tubular reabsorption of Na+?

A

When high BP, ANP is released from cardiac atria and reduces Na+ reabsorption by increasing cGMP in the collecting ducts which reduces Na+/K+-ATPase activity, decrease Na+ transport across the CD cells.

Q

What is the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone pathway?

A

Renin is released in low BP
Renin converts angiotensinogen from liver to angiotensin I (ANG I)
ANG I converts to ANG II via angiotensin converting enzyme
ANG II then goes on to stimulate the release of aldosterone

Q

What are the aldosterone 3 phases of action?

A

Phase 1 – ‘latent’ period 0.5 - 1 hr
Phase 2 – ‘early response’ 1.5 - 3 hr
Phase 3 – ‘late response’ 6 - 24 hr

20
Q

What happens in Phase 1 – ‘latent’ period in the action of aldosterone?

A

0.5 - 1 hr:
de novo protein synthesis; induce proteins (SGK)

21
Q

What happens in Phase 2 – ‘early response’ in the action of aldosterone?

A

1.5 - 3 hr:
Activation of pre-existing Na+ channels and Na+/K+-ATPases

22
Q

What happens in Phase 3 – ‘late response’ in the action of aldosterone?

A

6 - 24 hr:
Induction of ‘new’ Na+ channels and Na+/K+-ATPases

23
Q

What is SGK?

A

Serum glucocorticoid simulating kinase - Enable channels to remain in membrane

24
Q

What does de novo mean?

A

the formation of any of the various complex biomolecules from simple molecules or precursors via a certain biochemical pathway.

25
Q

How is ENaC removed?

A

ENaC as it is removed by Nedd4-2.
Nedd4-2 activates the ubiquitination of ENaC by tagging it to be destroyed

26
Q

What the mechanism of action for SGK?

A

SGK phosphorylates Nedd4-2 so it cannot remove the ENaC

27
Q

What is ubiquitination?

A

Ubiquitination is a process through which ubiquitin molecules are attached to protein substrates for protein degradation.

28
Q

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The macula densa cells function as baroreceptors.
B. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone and binds to a receptor on the basolateral membrane of Late Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct cells.
C. Angiotensin II is cleaved by renin to produce Angiotensin I.
D. Renin is released from the granular (juxtaglomerular) cells of the afferent arteriole.

D. Renin is released from the granular (juxtaglomerular) cells of the afferent arteriole.

What is the effect of aldosterone on NaCl and water reabsorption transport?

A

- does not increase H2O transport in TAL

41
Q

What is the effect of ANP and BNP on NaCl and water reabsorption transport?

A

Decrease in H2O and NaCl reabsorption

42
Q
