Endothelial Control of Vasomotor Tone: The Kidney Perspective
Seminars in Nephrology, 06/01/2012
Lamas S et al. – In the kidney, the local release of these endothelial mediators, together with the concourse of specialized endothelial cells in the glomerulus, contribute to regulate renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and tubular function that are intimately linked to sodium balance because they mutually influence each other. Ultimately, renal circulation and tubular function have a profound influence in systemic blood pressure as a result of the overall regulation of volume homeostasis.
