To define the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating the diuretic and natriuretic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the kidney.
Administered intravenous GLP-1 (1 μg·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) or vehicle (1% BSA/saline) continuously for 60 minutes in rats.
Profiled GLP-1 receptor mRNA expression in microdissected rat nephron segments using real-time RT-PCR.
Measured proximal tubular bicarbonate flux and analyzed NHE3 phosphorylation via protein kinase A (PKA) consensus sites in microvillus membrane vesicles.
GLP-1 infusion significantly elevated urine flow, glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, and fractional excretion of sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate compared with vehicle.
GLP-1 receptor mRNA was localized exclusively to the glomerulus and proximal convoluted tubule.
GLP-1 markedly inhibited NHE3-mediated bicarbonate reabsorption in renal proximal tubules through a PKA-dependent increase in NHE3 phosphorylation.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Experimental study demonstrates that GLP-1 promotes diuresis and natriuresis in rats via renal hemodynamics and NHE3 inhibition, suggesting therapeutic utility in sodium retention disorders.
