Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide synthase in macula densa regulates glomerular capillary pressure

TL;DR: It is concluded that nitric oxide synthase in macula densa cells is activated by tubular-fluid reabsorption and mediates a vasodilating component to the tubuloglomerular feedback response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normalization of Blood Pressure and Renal Vascular Resistance in SHR With a Membrane-Permeable Superoxide Dismutase Mimetic: Role of Nitric Oxide

TL;DR: The data implicate O2- in the hypertension of SHR in vivo and suggest that the antihypertensive action of tempol depends on NO synthesis presumably because O 2- inactivates NO and thus diminishes its vasodilatory actions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress and nitric oxide deficiency in the kidney: a critical link to hypertension?

TL;DR: ROS can diminish the efficiency with which the kidney uses O(2) for Na(+) transport and thereby diminish the P(O(2)) within the kidney cortex, which could further enhance vasculopathy and hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

NADPH oxidases in the kidney.

TL;DR: Experimental studies of the distribution, signaling, and function of NADPH oxidases in the kidney are described, with a prominent expression in renal vessels, glomeruli, and podocytes.
