Study gives insight into mechanism of bodys regulation of salt balance

Washington [US], April 3 (ANI): An innovative mechanism of the body’s regulation of salt balance is the topic of a recent study led by Marshall University experts. The body’s capacity to keep a proper sodium balance, which is essential for determining blood pressure, is greatly influenced by the kidney. Many common diseases, including as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke, are influenced by imbalances in sodium, and these diseases can develop and advance. Na/K-ATPase (NKA) is the enzymatic machinery that drives absorption of sodium along the renal proximal tubule. As such, it makes quite an unlikely candidate as a molecular counteractor…
