title: [Regulation by vasopressin of NaCl absorption in the renal collecting duct].
abstract: In the kidney, the fine control of NaCl absorption takes place in the distal nephron and is controlled by aldosterone and vasopressin. This review summarizes the effects of vasopressin on Na+ transport mediated by the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel in immortalized or primary cultured cortical collecting duct cells, expressing either the wild-type ENaC subunits, or mutations, or deletions of the PY domain of the beta- or gamma-ENaC subunits responsible for Liddle's syndrome, an inherited form of hypertension due to excessive salt absorption.
