Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in China. High blood pressure caused by excess intake of dietary sodium is widespread and an effective sodium reduction program has potential to improve cardiovascular health. This study is a
Mutations in SLC4A11, a member of the SLC4 superfamily of bicarbonate transporters, give rise to corneal endothelial cell dystrophies. SLC4A11 is a putative Na⁺ borate and Na⁺:OH⁻ transporter. Therefore we ask whether SLC4A11 in corneal endothelium transports borate (B[OH]₄⁻), bicarbonate

The optimal range of sodium intake for cardiovascular health is controversial. We obtained morning fasting urine samples from 101,945 persons in 17 countries and estimated 24-hour sodium and potassium excretion (used as a surrogate for intake). We examined the association

Albuminuria in nephrotic states is thought to arise from the formation of large pores in the glomerular capillary wall as large hydrodynamic probes, like Ficoll, have increased fractional clearance. In the present study, we tested for large pore formation in

The crystal structure of down-regulated NhaA crystallized at acidic pH4 [21] has provided the first structural insights into the antiport mechanism and pH regulation of a Na(+)/H(+) antiporter [22]. On the basis of the NhaA crystal structure [21] and experimental
