This book presents cutting edge methods that provide insights into
the pathways by which salt and water traverse cell membranes and
flow in an orchestrated fashion amongst the many compartments of
the body. It focuses on a number of molecular, cellular and whole
animal studies that involve multiple physiological systems and
shows how the internal milieu is regulated by multifactorial gene
regulation, molecular signaling, and cell and organ architecture.
Topics covered include: water channels, the urinary concentrating
mechanism, angiotensin, the endothelin system, miRNAs and MicroRNA
in osmoregulation, desert-adapted mammals, the giraffe kidney,
mosquito Malpighian tubules, and circadian rhythms. The book
highlights how different approaches to explaining the same
physiological processes greatly increase our understanding of these
fundamental processes. Greater integration of comparative,
evolutionary and genetic animal models in basic science and medical
science will improve our overall grasp of the mechanisms of sodium
and water balance.
