Amlal H and Soleimani M, Cell Physiol Biochem 2011;28:521-526 Schematic diagram showing a cell model of the thick ascending limb with its different transport pathways involved in the transcellular reabsorption of NaCl as well as the paracellular transfer of Na + activated by the luminal positive voltage

11. Amlal H and Soleimani M, Cell Physiol Biochem 2011;28:521-526 Schematic diagram showing a cell model of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) with its different transport pathways involved in the transcellular reabsorption of NaCl. Early DCT expresses only NCC whereas late DCT expresses both NCC and ENaC in the apical membrane

Amlal H and Soleimani M, Cell Physiol Biochem 2011;28:521-526 Schematic diagram showing cell types in both cortical collecting duct (CCD) and connecting tubules (CNT) with different transport pathways involved in transcellular reabsorption of NaCl. ENaC is expressed on the apical membrane of principal cells and pendrin (PDS) is expressed on the apical membrane of B-intercalated cells
