Alteration of Tight Junction Protein Expression in Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rat Kidney
Background/Aims: Altered pressure natriuresis is an important mechanism of hypertension, but it remains elusive at the molecular level. We hypothesized that in the kidney, tight junctions (TJs) may have a role in pressure natriuresis because paracellular NaCl transport affects interstitial hydrostat...
