[Expression and regulation of renal sodium-cotransporters and -antiporters, and related-transport proteins].
The authors' researches have been focused on pathogenic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms in hypertension and diabetes. Studies on hypertension were performed using salt-sensitive hypertensive Dahl rats as compared with the corresponding normotensive rats. Especially, implication with mobilization of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in hypertension gave rise to provocative to the author. Furthermore, complications of diabetes with hypertension were themes for the authors' researches. Thus, sodium-dependent glucose transport has been studied on sodium-dependent glucose transporters such as SGLT1 and SGLT2 using cell lines of porcelain renal cell, LLC-PK(1), and murine renal cell, NRK-52E. Relationship between magnesium mobilization and NO in hypertension has been explored using renal epithelial cell-lines and salt-sensitive hypertensive Dahl rats in the latter half of the author's research life.
