title: Five years of data diuresis: what have WEH learned?
abstract: This year represents the fifth annual Data Diuresis session of the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis (WEH) section of the American Physiological Society (APS) at the 2015 Experimental Biology meeting. As opposed to taking a single organ approach to the study of physiology, the WEH section employs an integrative approach to encompass how the different organ systems interact to regulate numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. The goal of this minireview is to highlight the broad spectrum of research themes that were presented over the first five years of Data Diuresis. Presentation topics include (but are not limited to) oxidative stress, inflammation, obesity, pregnancy, and hypertension spanning the brain, heart and vasculature, and kidney. WEH researchers continue to impact and help drive the direction of physiological research across multiple disciplines, leaving us excited to see what the next five years of Data Diuresis will bring.
