Handbook of Physiology: Section 7: The Endocrine System. Volume III: Endocrine Regulation of Water & Electrolyte Balance

This volume offers an integrative perspective on the physiological mechanisms governing water and electrolyte balance. It is structured into three sections: sodium and potassium equilibrium, hormonal regulation of electrolyte balance, and endocrine control of calcium and phosphate levels. Detailed discussions are provided on key components such as renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzymes, aldosterone, kallikrein-kinin system, natriuretic hormones, antidiuretic hormone, parathyroid hormone, polyhormones, parathyroid hormone-related peptide, and vitamin D. The book extensively explores genomic modifications related to electrolyte and water balance, paving the way for understanding functional genomics in both healthy and pathological conditions.
