Abstract excerpt
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes rapid loss of renal function with high morbidity and mortality. Our previous research showed that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) mediates nitric oxide-dependent dilation of the afferent arteriole, inhibiting tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), which critically regulates single nephron glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This mechanism could affect how vulnerable the organ is to...
