Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mediated activation of mTORC2 increases intracellular Na+ concentration in the renal medullary thick ascending limb of Henle

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production in the renal outer medulla is an important determinant of renal medullary blood flow and blood pressure (BP) salt-sensitivity in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats. The mechanisms and pathways responsible for these actions are poorly understood. Recently, we h...
