Abstract excerpt
Abnormal renal reabsorption of sodium (Na(+)) is likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitivity. In the kidney, chloride channels CLC-Ka (gene CLCNKA) and CLC-Kb (gene CLCNKB) and their subunit Barttin (gene BSND) have important effects on the control of Na(+) and water homeostasis...
