title: Inhibition of rat cardiac and renal Na+,K+-ATPase by high sodium concentrations and vanadate.
abstract: In the present study, rat renal Na+,K+-ATPase was found to be more sensitive to inhibition by high Na+ concentrations (100-400 mM) than was rat cardiac Na+,K+-ATPase. K+ was more effective in reversing the inhibition by Na+, of cardiac relative to renal Na+,K+-ATPase. Rat renal Na+,K+-ATPase was also more sensitive than cardiac Na+,K+-ATPase to inhibition by vanadate over this range of Na+ concentrations. These results support the hypothesis that vanadate may selectively regulate Na+,K+-ATPase in the kidney, and they may also help explain the natriuretic and diuretic effects of vanadate in rats. Inhibition of renal Na+,K+ATPase by Na+, may also help explain, in part, the natriuretic and diuretic effects of acute saline loading.
