Additionally, the impact if magnesium on NCC activity was investigated. The amiloride response experiment helped support the conclusion that a low magnesium state causes increased urinary potassium excretion, likely through a combination of NCC inhibition and ROMK disinhibition. The magnesium reversal experiment supports the conclusion that no permanent tubular damage occurs to the distal nephron affecting NCC expression. Further studies are necessary to better understand the complex relationships between magnesium, potassium, and sodium management by NCC, ROMK, and ENaC in the distal nephron. 000009613 540__ $$fCC BY 000009613 650__ $$aSodium$$026139 000009613 650__ $$aAmiloride$$014552 000009613 650__ $$aMagnesium$$021742 000009613 650__ $$aPotassium$$024467 000009613 6531_ $$ancc 000009613 6531_ $$anephron 000009613 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009613 7001_ $$aKummer, Alissa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009613 7201_ $$aMcCormick, James$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000009613 7201_ $$aMaeoka, Yujiro$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCo-PI 000009613 8564_ $$9edeb7bfb-5643-4d64-92cb-81adec9ae01a$$s266174$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9613/files/Kummer.Alissa.CaptionWeek.2022.pdf 000009613 905__ $$a/rest/prod/m9/00/nv/17/m900nv17v 000009613 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9613$$pstudent-work 000009613 980__ $$aScholarly Project Capstones
