Emphasizes collecting duct ET-1 specificity for IMCD NO on high salt; leaves open human translation and therapeutic targeting.
During high-salt feeding, autocrine actions of collecting duct-derived ET-1 via ETB receptor upregulation are critical for IMCD NO production and inhibition of ion reabsorption.
Hyndman et al. (2016) studied this question.
