Abstract

The article presents a study that deals with the mechanisms underlying the role of carbon monoxide (CO) in attenuating tubuloglomerular feedback. The study investigated the influence of CO and cGMP-stimulated phosphodiesterase 2 in reducing cAMP in the macula densa, leading to TGF attenuation. It shows that TGF is attenuated by CO through reduction of cAMP via a cGMP-dependent pathway mediated by cGMP-dependent protein kinase.
