Insulin increases sodium (Na+) channel density in A6 epithelia: implications for expression of hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

Essential or primary hypertension is a multifactorial disease that is expressed as a result of complex interactions between genes and environmental influences. Several mutations in many different proteins are associated with expression of hypertension, including abnormalities in the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) found in absorptive organs (i.e., distal colon, distal tubule of the nephron). Some of these...
