Mammalian kidneys are specialized to maintain fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. The
epithelial transport processes along the renal tubule that match output to input have long …

INTRODUCTION Kidney stone disease affects 1 in 10 persons at least once per life-time
worldwide, in 2% the disease is recurrent. For the individual stone disease can be painful …

Each day,~ 1.7 kg of NaCl and 180 liters of water are reabsorbed by nephron segments in
humans, with urinary excretion fine tuned to meet homeostatic requirements. These tasks …

Kidney function is regulated by the circadian clock. Not only do glomerular filtration rate and
urinary excretion oscillate during the day, but the expressions of several renal transporter …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide in both sexes.
Despite considerable progress in better understanding the patterns of disease in women …

Ca2+ transport along the nephron occurs via specific transcellular and paracellular
pathways and is coupled to the transport of other electrolytes. Notably, Na+ transport …

Normal pregnancy is characterized by massive increases in plasma volume and electrolyte
retention. Given that the kidneys regulate homeostasis of electrolytes and volume, the organ …

Renal hemodynamics, renal transporter expression levels, and urine excretion exhibit
circadian variations. Disruption of these diurnal patterns is associated with the …

Men and women exhibit notable differences not only in the reproductive system and
reproductive behaviors, but in many other organ and physiological systems as well. Notable …
