Emerging evidence is showing that apelin plays an important role in regulating salt and water balance by counteracting the antidiuretic action of vasopressin (AVP). However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here, we hypothesized that (pro) renin receptor (PRR)/soluble prorenin receptor (sPRR) might mediate the diuretic action of apelin in the distal nephron. During water deprivation (WD), the urine concentrating capability was impaired by an apelin peptide, apelin-13, accompanied by the ...[more]
