Springer Sodium and Water Homeostasis Physiology Textbook

Explore the complex mechanisms of salt and water regulation with this comprehensive scientific text from Springer. Part of the Physiology in Health and Disease series, this book provides detailed insights into the pathways that allow salt and water to move through cell membranes and across various body compartments. By examining molecular, cellular, and whole animal studies, the text explains how the internal milieu stays regulated. It covers how multiple physiological systems work together through gene regulation, molecular signaling, and specific cell and organ architecture. This resource is designed for researchers and students looking to understand the orchestrated flow of fluids within biological systems. Readers will find deep analysis on essential topics including water channels, the urinary concentrating mechanism, the angiotensin and endothelin systems, and the role of miRNAs in osmoregulation. This book serves as a detailed guide to the evolutionary and genetic models that govern sodium and water balance.
