Study Notes
Overall Control of Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
- Sodium (Na+) and water regulation contributes to the overall regulation of ECF volume and ECF osmolarity.
- Na+ regulation responds primarily to changes in blood volume, which is driven by changes in pressure.
- Water regulation responds primarily to changes in ECF osmolarity and secondarily to ECF volume (pressure)
Hormones Involved
- Renin - Angiotensin II - Aldosterone (RAAS)
- Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH; Vasopressin)
- Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)
Aldosterone
- Aldosterone is a steroid hormone released from the adrenal cortex.
- It binds to intracellular mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) in the late distal tubule and collecting duct.
- Increases tubular Na+ reabsorption and tubular K+ secretion by the principal cells.
- Increased aldosterone is stimulated by increased Angiotensin II and plasma K+ concentrations.
- Aldosterone is antagonized by spironolactone, a weak diuretic that spares K+.
- 2-3% of filtered Na+ is under the control of aldosterone, which amounts to 30g of NaCl/day.
Angiotensin II (Ang II)
- Produced from the conversion of Angiotensin I into Angiotensin II by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) in the lungs.
- Binds to Angiotensin II Type 1 receptors (AT1R) expressed in several tissues including the adrenal glands and vascular smooth muscle.
- It has other functions via AT2Rs.
- Primary functions include being a powerful vasoconstrictor and stimulating aldosterone secretion.
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)
- Released from the atria of the heart.
- Stimulants include increased pressures (e.g., ↑NaCl, ↑ ECF volume, ↑ arterial BP).
- Targets include the renal JGA (increases GFR, inhibits renin), adrenal cortex (reduces Aldosterone), vascular smooth muscle (vasodilation), and hypothalamus (reduces ADH).
- ANP increases GFR by dilating the afferent arteriole and constricting the efferent arteriole.
- Decreases NaCl reabsorption by the collecting duct; directly inhibits secretion of renin and aldosterone; directly inhibits Na+ reabsorption by the medullary collecting duct (natriuresis).
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) or Vasopressin
- ADH is released from the posterior pituitary when plasma osmolality increases or plasma volume decreases.
- Binds to V1 and V2 receptors; signaling via V2 receptors in the kidney primarily increases water permeability of the principal cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct via insertion of aquaporins (AQP2) into apical membranes.
- Most important hormone regulating water balance.
- ADH has a small effect on NaCl excretion.
- Also called vasopressin for its powerful vasoconstricting properties via V1 receptors.
Summary of Hormone Actions
- Aldosterone increases Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion in the collecting ducts.
- ANP inhibits renin, aldosterone, and ADH secretion; decreases Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion in the late distal tubule and collecting duct.
- ADH increases H2O reabsorption in the late distal tubule and collecting duct by inserting AQP2 channels into the apical membrane.
Overall Summary
- The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) regulates blood volume.
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates plasma osmolarity.
- There is an interplay between these hormones in maintaining ECF volume and osmolarity.
