Abstract
Microplastics (MPs), recognized as an emerging environmental menace, have been extensively investigated in both marine and terrestrial fauna. This study is comprehensive to investigate how polystyrene (PS) affects ruminant animals. The experimental design comprised 24 individually housed lambs, divided into a CON group (diet without PS) and three PS-exposed (25 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm) groups, each with six lambs, the exposure of PS was 100 mg/day, and the duration of exposure was 60 days. The study yielded noteworthy results: (ⅰ) PS leads to a decrease in average daily gain along with an increase in feed conversion rate. (ⅱ) PS decreases rumen ammonia nitrogen. The rumen microbiota diversity remains consistent. However, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria increased in the PS-exposed groups, while the relative abundance of Coriobacteriales_incertae_Sedis and Prevotellaceae_YAB2003_group decreased. (ⅲ) PS leads to decrease in hemoglobin, thrombocytocrit, and albumin levels in lamb blood, thus triggering oxidative stress accumulation, along with swelling of the kidneys and liver. (ⅳ) PS inflicts severe damage to jejunum, consequently impacting digestion and absorption. (ⅴ) PS reduces meat quality and the nutritional value. In conclusion, PS-exposure inhibited lambs' digestive function, adversely affects blood and organs' health status, reducing average daily gain and negatively influencing meat quality. PS particles of 50-100 μm bring worse damage to lambs. This research aims to fill the knowledge void concerning MPs' influences on ruminant animals, with a specific focus on the meat quality of fattening lambs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary salt intake during normal pregnancy on maternal microvascular and macrovascular endothelium-dependent reactivity and oxidative stress level. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, based on their 24-h urinary sodium excretion, pregnant women (37-40 weeks of gestation) were divided into three groups: normal salt (<5.75 g/day, N = 12), high salt (5.75-10.25 g/day, N = 36), and very high salt (VHS;>10.25 g/day, N = 17). Forearm skin microvascular reactivity in response to vascular occlusion, local heating (LTH) and iontophoresis of acetylcholine (AChID), as well as brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) were measured. Serum nitric oxide, endocan, 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and ferric-reducing ability of plasma assay were measured as biomarkers of endothelial function/activation and oxidative stress. RESULTS Brachial artery FMD, microvascular AChID, and LTH were significantly decreased in VHS compared with NS group, while LTH was also decreased in normal salt compared with high salt group. Nitric oxide was significantly decreased in both high salt and VHS groups compared with normal salt. Endocan, 8-iso-PGF2α, and TBARS were significantly increased in VHS compared with the normal salt group. CONCLUSION High dietary salt intake is associated with decreased nitric oxide mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation in peripheral microcirculation and macrocirculation of healthy pregnant women due to increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Homeostasis of fluid and electrolytes is a tightly controlled physiological process. Failure of this process is a hallmark of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and other acute and chronic diseases. While the kidney remains the major player in the control of whole-body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, recent discoveries point toward more peripheral mechanisms leading to sodium storage in tissues, such as skin and muscle, and a link between this sodium and a range of diseases, including the conditions above. In this review, we describe multiple facets of sodium and fluid balance from traditional concepts to novel discoveries. We examine the differences between acute disruption of sodium balance and the longer term adaptation in chronic disease, highlighting areas that cannot be explained by a kidney-centric model alone. The theoretical and methodological challenges of more recently proposed models are discussed. We acknowledge the different roles of extracellular and intracellular spaces and propose an integrated model that maintains fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and can be distilled into a few elemental players: the microvasculature, the interstitium, and tissue cells. Understanding their interplay will guide a more precise treatment of conditions characterized by sodium excess, for which primary aldosteronism is presented as a prototype.

A population-based urinary and plasma metabolomics study of environmental exposure to cadmium. Environ Health Prev Med 2024; 29:22.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of metabolomics-based profiles in environmental epidemiological studies is a promising approach to refine the process of health risk assessment. We aimed to identify potential metabolomics-based profiles in urine and plasma for the detection of relatively low-level cadmium (Cd) exposure in large population-based studies. METHOD We analyzed 123 urinary metabolites and 94 plasma metabolites detected in fasting urine and plasma samples collected from 1,412 men and 2,022 women involved in the Tsuruoka Metabolomics Cohort Study. Regression analysis was performed for urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), plasma, and urinary metabolites as dependent variables, and urinary Cd (U-Cd, quartile) as an independent variable. The multivariable regression model included age, gender, systolic blood pressure, smoking, rice intake, BMI, glycated hemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alcohol consumption, physical activity, educational history, dietary energy intake, urinary Na/K ratio, and uric acid. Pathway-network analysis was carried out to visualize the metabolite networks linked to Cd exposure. RESULT Urinary NAG was positively associated with U-Cd, but not at lower concentrations (Q2). Among urinary metabolites in the total population, 45 metabolites showed associations with U-Cd in the unadjusted and adjusted models after adjusting for the multiplicity of comparison with FDR. There were 12 urinary metabolites which showed consistent associations between Cd exposure from Q2 to Q4. Among plasma metabolites, six cations and one anion were positively associated with U-Cd, whereas alanine, creatinine, and isoleucine were negatively associated with U-Cd. Our results were robust by statistical adjustment of various confounders. Pathway-network analysis revealed metabolites and upstream regulator changes associated with mitochondria (ACACB, UCP2, and metabolites related to the TCA cycle). CONCLUSION These results suggested that U-Cd was associated with metabolites related to upstream mitochondrial dysfunction in a dose-dependent manner. Our data will help develop environmental Cd exposure profiles for human populations.

Acute high-dose MitoQ does not increase urinary kidney injury markers in healthy adults: a randomized crossover trial. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2024; 326:F135-F142. [PMID: 37942539 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00186.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Several human studies have used the mitochondrial antioxidant MitoQ. Recent in vitro data indicating that MitoQ may induce nephrotoxicity caused concern regarding the safety of MitoQ on the kidneys, but the doses were supraphysiological. Therefore, we sought to determine whether acute MitoQ elicits changes in urinary biomarkers associated with tubular injury in healthy adults with our hypothesis being there would be no changes. Using a randomized crossover design, 32 healthy adults (16 females and 16 males, 29 ± 11 yr old) consumed MitoQ (100-160 mg based on body mass) or placebo capsules. We obtained serum samples and a 4- to 6-h postcapsule consumption urine sample. We assessed creatinine clearance and urine kidney injury biomarkers including the chitinase 3-like-1 gene product YKL-40, kidney-injury marker-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, epidermal growth factor, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, interleukin-18, and uromodulin using multiplex assays. We used t tests, Wilcoxon tests, and Hotelling's T2 to assess global differences in urinary kidney injury markers between conditions. Acute MitoQ supplementation did not influence urine flow rate (P = 0.086, rrb = 0.39), creatinine clearance (P = 0.085, rrb = 0.42), or urinary kidney injury markers (T22,8 = 30.6, P = 0.121, univariate ps > 0.064). Using exploratory univariate analysis, MitoQ did not alter individual injury markers compared with placebo (e.g., placebo vs. MitoQ: YKL-40, 507 ± 241 vs. 442 ± 236 pg/min, P = 0.241; kidney injury molecule-1, 84.1 ± 43.2 vs. 76.2 ± 51.2 pg/min, P = 0.890; and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, 10.8 ± 10.1 vs. 9.83 ± 8.06 ng/min, P = 0.609). In conclusion, although longer-term surveillance and data are needed in clinical populations, our findings suggest that acute high-dose MitoQ had no effect on urinary kidney injury markers in healthy adults.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We found acute high-dose mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (MitoQ) supplementation was not nephrotoxic and had no effect on markers of acute kidney injury in healthy adults. These findings can help bolster further confidence in the safety of MitoQ, particularly for future investigations seeking to examine the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress, via acute MitoQ supplementation, on various physiological outcomes.

Abstract
In aging kidneys, a decline of function resulting from extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and organ fibrosis is regarded as "physiological." Whether a direct link between high salt intake and fibrosis in aging kidney exists autonomously from arterial hypertension is unclear. This study explores kidney intrinsic changes (inflammation, ECM derangement) induced by a high-salt diet (HSD) in a murine model lacking arterial hypertension. The contribution of cold shock Y-box binding protein (YB-1) as a key orchestrator of organ fibrosis to the observed differences is determined by comparison with a knockout strain (Ybx1ΔRosaERT+TX). Comparisons of tissue from mice fed with normal-salt diet (NSD, standard chow) or high-salt diet (HSD, 4% NaCl in chow; 1% NaCl in water) for up to 16 mo revealed that with HSD tubular cell numbers decrease and tubulointerstitial scarring [periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Masson's trichrome, Sirius red staining] prevails. In Ybx1ΔRosaERT+TX animals tubular cell damage, a loss of cell contacts with profound tubulointerstitial alterations, and tubular cell senescence was seen. A distinct tubulointerstitial distribution of fibrinogen, collagen type VI, and tenascin-C was detected under HSD, transcriptome analyses determined patterns of matrisome regulation. Temporal increase of immune cell infiltration was seen under HSD of wild type, but not Ybx1ΔRosaERT+TX animals. In vitro Ybx1ΔRosaERT+TX bone marrow-derived macrophages exhibited a defect in polarization (IL-4/IL-13) and abrogated response to sodium chloride. Taken together, HSD promotes progressive kidney fibrosis with premature cell aging, ECM deposition, and immune cell recruitment that is exacerbated in Ybx1ΔRosaERT+TX animals.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Short-term experimental studies link excessive sodium ingestion with extracellular matrix accumulation and inflammatory cell recruitment, yet long-term data are scarce. Our findings with a high-salt diet over 16 mo in aging mice pinpoints to a decisive tipping point after 12 mo with tubular stress response, skewed matrisome transcriptome, and immune cell infiltration. Cell senescence was aggravated in knockout animals for cold shock Y-box binding protein (YB-1), suggesting a novel protective protein function.

Abstract
Hypertension is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among adults worldwide. In this review, we focus on two of the most critical public health challenges that contribute to hypertension-obesity and excess dietary sodium from salt (i.e., sodium chloride). While the independent effects of these factors have been studied extensively, the interplay of obesity and excess salt overconsumption is not well understood. Here, we discuss both the independent and combined effects of excess obesity and dietary salt given their contributions to vascular dysfunction, autonomic cardiovascular dysregulation, kidney dysfunction, and insulin resistance. We discuss the role of ultra-processed foods-accounting for nearly 60% of energy intake in America-as a major contributor to both obesity and salt overconsumption. We highlight the influence of obesity on elevated blood pressure in the presence of a high-salt diet (i.e., salt sensitivity). Throughout the review, we highlight critical gaps in knowledge that should be filled to inform us of the prevention, management, treatment, and mitigation strategies for addressing these public health challenges.

Abstract
AIMS High salt intake is common and contributes to poor cardiovascular health. Urinary sodium excretion correlates directly with glucocorticoid excretion in humans and experimental animals. We hypothesized that high salt intake activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation and leads to sustained glucocorticoid excess. METHODS AND RESULTS In male C57BL/6 mice, high salt intake for 2-8 weeks caused an increase in diurnal peak levels of plasma corticosterone. After 2 weeks, high salt increased Crh and Pomc mRNA abundance in the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, consistent with basal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation. Additionally, high salt intake amplified glucocorticoid response to restraint stress, indicative of enhanced axis sensitivity. The binding capacity of Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin was reduced and its encoding mRNA downregulated in the liver. In the hippocampus and anterior pituitary, Fkbp5 mRNA levels were increased, indicating increased glucocorticoid exposure. The mRNA expression of the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1, was increased in these brain areas and in the liver. Sustained high salt intake activated a water conservation response by the kidney, increasing plasma levels of the vasopressin surrogate, copeptin. Increased mRNA abundance of Tonebp and Avpr1b in the anterior pituitary suggested that vasopressin signalling contributes to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation by high salt diet. CONCLUSION Chronic high salt intake amplifies basal and stress-induced glucocorticoid levels and resets glucocorticoid biology centrally, peripherally and within cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment and its estimation (eGFR) is a long-lasting challenge in medicine and public health. Current eGFR formulae are indexed for standardized body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2, ignoring persons and populations wherein the ratio of BSA or metabolic rate to nephron number might be different, due to increased BSA, increased metabolic rate or reduced nephron number. These equations are based on creatinine, cystatin C or a combination of the two, which adds another confounder to eGFR assessment. Unusually high GFR values, also known as renal hyperfiltration, have not been well defined under these equations. RECENT FINDINGS Special conditions such as solitary kidney in kidney donors, high dietary protein intake, obesity and diabetes are often associated with renal hyperfiltration and amenable to errors in GFR estimation. In all hyperfiltration types, there is an increased intraglomerular pressure that can be physiologic, but its persistence over time is detrimental to glomerulus leading to progressive glomerular damage and renal fibrosis. Hyperfiltration might be underdiagnosed due to BSA standardization embedded in the formula. Hence, timely intervention is delayed. Reducing intraglomerular pressure in diabetes can be achieved by SGLT2 inhibitors or low protein diet to reverse the glomerulopathy process. SUMMARY Accurate identification of glomerular hyperfiltration as a pre-CKD condition needs accurate estimation of GFR in the above normal range should establish a threshold for timely intervention.

Abstract
There is a strong association between salt intake and cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension, on the population level. The mechanisms that explain this association remain incompletely understood and appear to extend beyond blood pressure. In this review, we describe some of the 'novel' roles of Na+ in cardiovascular health and disease: energetic implications of sodium handling in the kidneys; local accumulation in tissue; fluid dynamics; and the role of the microvasculature, with particular focus on the lymphatic system. We describe the interplay between these factors that involves body composition, metabolic signatures, inflammation and composition of the extracellular and intracellular milieus.

Abstract
Background Salt-sensitive hypertension is highly prevalent and associated with cardiorenal damage. Large clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors exert hypotensive effect and cardiorenal protective benefits in patients with hypertension with and without diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Methods and Results Dahl salt-sensitive rats and salt-insensitive controls were fed with 8% high-salt diet and some of them were treated with canagliflozin. The blood pressure, urinary sodium excretion, and vascular function were detected. Transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3) knockout mice were used to explain the mechanism. Canagliflozin treatment significantly reduced high-salt-induced hypertension and this effect was not totally dependent on urinary sodium excretion in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. Assay of vascular function and proteomics showed that canagliflozin significantly inhibited vascular cytoplasmic calcium increase and vasoconstriction in response to high-salt diet. High salt intake increased vascular expression of TRPC3 in salt-sensitive rats, which could be alleviated by canagliflozin treatment. Overexpression of TRPC3 mimicked salt-induced vascular cytosolic calcium increase in vitro and knockout of TRPC3 erased the antihypertensive effect of canagliflozin. Mechanistically, high-salt-induced activation of NCX1 (sodium-calcium exchanger 1) reverse mode increased cytoplasmic calcium level and vasoconstriction, which required TRPC3, and this process could be blocked by canagliflozin. Conclusions We define a previously unrecognized role of TRPC3/NCX1 mediated vascular calcium dysfunction in the development of high-salt-induced hypertension, which can be improved by canagliflozin treatment. This pathway is potentially a novel therapeutic target to antagonize salt-sensitive hypertension.

Abstract
Background Obesity poses significant challenges to healthcare globally, particularly through its bi-directional relationship with co-morbid metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. There is also emerging evidence of an association between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) which is less well characterized. Methods A literature search of electronic libraries was conducted to identify and present a narrative review of the interplay between obesity and CKD. Findings Obesity may predispose to CKD directly as it is linked to the histopathological finding of obesity-related glomerulopathy and indirectly through its widely recognized complications such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. The biochemical and endocrine products of adipose tissue contribute to pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and proteinuria. The prevention and management of obesity may prove critical in counteracting both the development and advancement of CKD. Moreover, measures of abdominal adiposity such as waist circumference, are generally associated with worse morbidity and mortality in individuals receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Conclusion Obesity is a risk factor for the onset and progression of CKD and should be recognized as a potential target for a preventative public health approach to reduce CKD rates within the general population. Future research should focus on the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with CKD and obesity due to their multi-faceted actions on major outcomes.

Abstract
Objective SLC12A3 (solute carrier family 12 member 3) gene variants are associated with diabetic nephropathy; however, their association with hypertensive nephropathy remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the association between SLC12A3 gene polymorphisms and renal function in patients with hypertension. Methods Participants from three non-diabetic hypertensive cohorts, including young-onset hypertension (cohort 1, n = 882), treatment-naïve hypertension (cohort 2, n = 90), and follow-up cohort (cohort 3, n = 166), underwent genotyping for single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC12A3. Renal events were defined as a >25 and >50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Results In cohort 1, SLC12A3 rs16963397 C/C or C/G (P = 0.005), rs13334864 C/C or C/T (P = 0.020), and rs7187932 A/A or A/G polymorphisms (P = 0.014) had higher eGFRs compared to their counterparts, with similar findings observed in cohort 2. In cohort 3, over a mean follow-up of 5.8 ± 1.7 years, participants with either SLC12A3 rs16963397 C/C or rs13334864 C/C polymorphisms had more >25 and >50% eGFR decline than their counterparts (log-rank test, P = 0.058 and P = 0.038, respectively). Cox regression analysis revealed that SLC12A3 rs16963397 C/C and rs13334864 C/C polymorphisms were significantly associated with an increased risk of >25% [hazard ratio (HR), 3.294; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.158–9.368; P = 0.025] and >50% decline in eGFR (HR, 18.630; 95% CI, 1.529–227.005, P = 0.022) than their counterparts. Conclusion SLC12A3 polymorphisms are associated with renal function in Chinese patients with hypertension.

Abstract
High blood pressure (BP) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of cardiovascular diseases and multi-organ damages. Music has been well known to elicit emotional changes, such as anxiolytic effects. However, whether music therapy lowers BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the potential mechanism remains unknown. SHRs were, respectively exposed to white noise (WN), Western classical music (WM), Chinese classical music (CCM), rock music (RM), and bisoprolol treatment. WN and WM did not lower systemic BP, but CCM and RM significantly lowered BPs in SHRs. The effects of CCM therapy on lowering systemic BPs is comparable to that of bisoprolol at the dose of low to medium. Combination of CCM treatment with bisoprolol further improved systemic BPs and myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs, compared to CCM treatment or bisoprolol alone. Furthermore, IHC and WB analysis indicated that CCM therapy inhibited the β1/cAMP/PKA and α1/PLC/PKC signalings, but didn’t alter the β2/PI3K/Akt signaling. Above all, CCM therapy lowers systemic BPs and alleviates myocardial hypertrophy in hypertensive rats, which may be caused by the inhibitions of β1/cAMP/PKA and α1/PLC/PKC signalings.

Abstract
The mosaic theory of hypertension was advocated by Irvine Page ~80 years ago and suggested that hypertension resulted from the close interactions of different causes. Increasing evidence indicates that hypertension and hypertensive end-organ damage are not only mediated by the proposed mechanisms that result in hemodynamic injury. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology and contributes to the deleterious consequences of arterial hypertension. Sodium intake is indispensable for normal body function but can be detrimental when it exceeds dietary requirements. Recent data show that sodium levels also modulate the function of monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and different T-cell subsets. Some of these effects are mediated by changes in the microbiome and metabolome due to high-salt intake. The purpose of this review is to propose a revised and extended version of the mosaic theory by summarizing and integrating recent advances in salt, immunity, and hypertension research. Salt and inflammation are placed in the middle of the mosaic because both factors influence each of the remaining pieces.

Abstract
Human hypertension caused by in-frame deletion of CULLIN3 exon-9 (Cul3∆9) is driven by renal and vascular mechanisms. We bred conditionally activatable Cul3∆9 transgenic mice with tamoxifen-inducible Tie2-CREERT2 mice to test the importance of endothelial Cul3. The resultant mice (E-Cul3∆9) trended towards elevated nighttime blood pressure (BP) correlated with increased nighttime activity, but displayed no difference in daytime BP or activity. Male and female E-Cul3∆9 mice together exhibited a decline in endothelial-dependent relaxation in carotid artery. Male but not female E-Cul3∆9 mice displayed severe endothelial dysfunction in cerebral basilar artery. There was no impairment in mesenteric artery and no difference in smooth muscle function, suggesting the effects of Cul3∆9 are arterial bed-specific and sex-dependent. Expression of Cul3∆9 in primary mouse aortic endothelial cells decreased endogenous Cul3 protein, phosphorylated (S1177) endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production. Protein phosphatase (PP) 2A, a known Cul3 substrate, dephosphorylates eNOS. Cul3∆9-induced impairment of eNOS activity was rescued by a selective PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid, but not by a PP1 inhibitor tautomycetin. Because NO deficiency contributes to salt-induced hypertension, we tested the salt-sensitivity of E-Cul3∆9 mice. While both male and female E-Cul3∆9 mice developed salt-induced hypertension and renal injury, the pressor effect of salt was greater in female mutants. The increased salt-sensitivity in female E-Cul3∆9 mice was associated with decreased renovascular relaxation and impaired natriuresis in response to a sodium load. Thus, CUL3 mutations in the endothelium may contribute to human hypertension in part through decreased endothelial NO bioavailability, renovascular dysfunction, and increased salt-sensitivity of BP.

Abstract
In rodents and older patients with elevated blood pressure (BP), high dietary sodium increases excretion of biomarkers of kidney injury, but it is unclear whether this effect occurs in healthy young adults. The purpose of this study was to determine whether short-term high dietary salt increases urinary excretion of the kidney injury biomarkers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in healthy young adults. Twenty participants participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover study. For 10 days each, participants were asked to consume salt (3,900 mg sodium) or placebo capsules. We measured BP during each visit, obtained 24-h urine samples for measurements of electrolytes, NGAL, and KIM-1, and assessed creatinine clearance. Compared with placebo, salt loading increased daily urinary sodium excretion (placebo: 130.3 ± 62.4 mmol/24 h vs. salt: 287.2 ± 72.0 mmol/24 h, P < 0.01). There was no difference in mean arterial BP (placebo: 77 ± 7 mmHg vs. salt: 77 ± 6 mmHg, P = 0.83) between conditions. However, salt loading increased the urinary NGAL excretion rate (placebo: 59.8 ± 44.4 ng/min vs. salt: 80.8 ± 49.5 ng/min, P < 0.01) and increased creatinine clearance (placebo: 110.5 ± 32.9 mL/min vs. salt: 145.0 ± 24.9 mL/min, P < 0.01). Urinary KIM-1 excretion was not different between conditions. In conclusion, in healthy young adults 10 days of dietary salt loading increased creatinine clearance and increased urinary excretion of the kidney injury biomarker marker NGAL but not KIM-1.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In healthy young adults, 10 days of dietary salt loading increased creatinine clearance and increased urinary excretion of the kidney injury biomarker marker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin despite no change in resting blood pressure.

Abstract
Purpose of Review The regulation of blood pressure is conventionally conceptualised into the product of “circulating blood volume” and “vasoconstriction components”. Over the last few years, however, demonstration of tissue sodium storage challenged this dichotomous view. Recent Findings We review the available evidence pertaining to this phenomenon and the early association made with blood pressure; we discuss open questions regarding its originally proposed hypertonic nature, recently challenged by the suggestion of a systemic, isotonic, water paralleled accumulation that mirrors absolute or relative extracellular volume expansion; we present the established and speculate on the putative implications of this extravascular sodium excess, in either volume-associated or -independent form, on blood pressure regulation; finally, we highlight the prevalence of high tissue sodium in cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory conditions other than hypertension. Summary We conclude on approaches to reduce sodium excess and on the potential of emerging imaging technologies in hypertension and other conditions.

Abstract
Hyperfiltration is an important underlying cause of glomerular dysfunction associated with several systemic and intrinsic glomerular conditions leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). These include obesity, diabetes, hypertension, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), congenital abnormalities and reduced renal mass (low nephron number). Hyperfiltration-associated biomechanical forces directly impact the cell membrane, generating tensile and fluid flow shear stresses in multiple segments of the nephron. Ongoing research suggests these biomechanical forces as the initial mediators of hyperfiltration-induced deterioration of podocyte structure and function leading to their detachment and irreplaceable loss from the glomerular filtration barrier. Membrane lipid-derived polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and their metabolites are potent transducers of biomechanical stress from the cell surface to intracellular compartments. Omega-6 and ω-3 long-chain PUFA from membrane phospholipids generate many versatile and autacoid oxylipins that modulate pro-inflammatory as well as anti-inflammatory autocrine and paracrine signaling. We advance the idea that lipid signaling molecules, related enzymes, metabolites and receptors are not just mediators of cellular stress but also potential targets for developing novel interventions. With the growing emphasis on lifestyle changes for wellness, dietary fatty acids are potential adjunct-therapeutics to minimize/treat hyperfiltration-induced progressive glomerular damage and CKD.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dehydrogenases are differentially stimulated by Ca2+. Ca2+ has also diverse regulatory effects on mitochondrial transporters and other enzymes. However, the consequences of these regulatory effects on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and ATP production, and the dependencies of these consequences on respiratory substrates, have not been investigated between the kidney and heart despite the fact that kidney energy requirements are second only to those of the heart. Our objective was, therefore, to elucidate these relationships in isolated mitochondria from the kidney outer medulla (OM) and heart. ADP-induced mitochondrial respiration was measured at different CaCl2 concentrations in the presence of various respiratory substrates, including pyruvate + malate (PM), glutamate + malate (GM), alpha-ketoglutarate + malate (AM), palmitoyl-carnitine + malate (PCM), and succinate + rotenone (SUC + ROT). The results showed that, in both heart and OM mitochondria, and for most complex I substrates, Ca2+ effects are biphasic: small increases in Ca2+ concentration stimulated, while large increases inhibited mitochondrial respiration. Furthermore, significant differences in substrate- and Ca2+-dependent O2 utilization towards ATP production between heart and OM mitochondria were observed. With PM and PCM substrates, Ca2+ showed more prominent stimulatory effects in OM than in heart mitochondria, while with GM and AM substrates, Ca2+ had similar biphasic regulatory effects in both OM and heart mitochondria. In contrast, with complex II substrate SUC + ROT, only inhibitory effects on mitochondrial respiration was observed in both the heart and the OM. We conclude that the regulatory effects of Ca2+ on mitochondrial OxPhos and ATP synthesis are biphasic, substrate-dependent, and tissue-specific.

Abstract
Uromodulin (UMOD) is the most abundant renal protein secreted into urine by the thick ascending limb (TAL) epithelial cells of the loop of Henle. Genetic studies have demonstrated an association between UMOD risk variants and hypertension. We aimed to dissect the role of dietary salt in renal UMOD excretion in normotension and chronic hypertension. Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) (n=8/sex/strain) were maintained on 1% NaCl for 3 weeks. A subset of salt-loaded SHRSP was treated with nifedipine. Salt-loading in SHRSP increased blood pressure (ΔSBP 35 ± 5 mmHg, P<0.0001) and kidney injury markers such as kidney injury marker-1 (KIM-1; fold change, FC 3.4; P=0.003), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; FC, 2.0; P=0.012) and proteinuria. After salt-loading there was a reduction in urinary UMOD excretion in WKY and SHRSP by 26 and 55% respectively, compared with baseline. Nifedipine treatment reduced blood pressure (BP) in SHRSP, however, did not prevent salt-induced reduction in urinary UMOD excretion. In all experiments, changes in urinary UMOD excretion were dissociated from kidney UMOD protein and mRNA levels. Colocalization and ex-vivo studies showed that salt-loading increased intracellular UMOD retention in both WKY and SHRSP. Our study provides novel insights into the interplay among salt, UMOD, and BP. The role of UMOD as a cardiovascular risk marker deserves mechanistic reappraisal and further investigations based on our findings.

Abstract
Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is a renal low-affinity high-capacity sodium/glucose cotransporter expressed in the apical membrane of the early segment of proximal tubules. SGLT2 reabsorbs filtered glucose in the kidney, and its inhibitors represent a new class of oral medications used for type 2 diabetes mellitus, which act by increasing glucose and sodium excretion in urine, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. However, clinical trials showed marked improvement of renal outcomes, even in nondiabetic kidney diseases, although the underlying mechanism of this renoprotective effect is unclear. We showed that long-term excretion of salt by the kidneys, which predisposes to osmotic diuresis and water loss, induces a systemic body response for water conservation. The energy-intensive nature of water conservation leads to a reprioritization of systemic body energy metabolism. According to current data, use of SGLT2 inhibitors may result in similar reprioritization of energy metabolism to prevent dehydration. In this review article, we discuss the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibition from the perspective of energy metabolism and water conservation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the current knowledge on interactions between dietary factors and microRNAs (miRNAs) in essential hypertension (EH) pathogenesis. RECENT FINDINGS There exists an integration of maintenance signals generated by genetic, epigenetic, immune, and environmental (e.g., dietary) factors that work to sustain balance in the gut-liver axis. It is well established that an imbalance in this complex, intertwined system substantially increases the risk for EH. As such, pertinent research has been taken to decipher how each signal operates in isolation and together in EH progression. Recent literature indicates that both macro- and micronutrients interrupt regulatory miRNA expressions and thus, alter multiple cellular processes that contribute to EH and its comorbidities. We highlight how carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, salt, and potassium modify miRNA signatures during EH. The disruption in miRNA expression can negatively impact communication systems such as over activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, modulating the vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype, and promoting angiogenesis to favor EH. We also delineate the prognostic value of miRNAs in EH and discuss the pros and cons of surgical vs dietary prophylactic approaches in EH prevention. We propose that dietary-dependent perturbation of the miRNA profile is one mechanism within the gut-liver axis that dictates EH development.

Abstract
Therapeutic inhibition of the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) leads to substantial loss of energy (in the form of glucose) and additional solutes (in the form of Na+ and its accompanying anions) in urine. However, despite the continuously elevated solute excretion, long-term osmotic diuresis does not occur in humans with SGLT2 inhibition. Rather, patients on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy adjust to the reduction in energy availability and conserve water. The metabolic adaptations that are induced by SGLT2 inhibition are similar to those observed in aestivation - an evolutionarily conserved survival strategy that enables physiological adaptation to energy and water shortage. Aestivators exploit amino acids from muscle to produce glucose and fatty acid fuels. This endogenous energy supply chain is coupled with nitrogen transfer for organic osmolyte production, which allows parallel water conservation. Moreover, this process is often accompanied by a reduction in metabolic rate. By comparing aestivation metabolism with the fuel switches that occur during therapeutic SGLT2 inhibition, we suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors induce aestivation-like metabolic patterns, which may contribute to the improvements in cardiac and renal function observed with this class of therapeutics.
