Studies of the osmotic and ionic responses of the supralittoral rock pool inhabitant Tigriopus brevicornis (Crustacea: Copepoda) showed that this species of orange harpacticoid copepod is an unusually euryhaline osmoconformer. Body fluid osmolalities were 297–3691 mOsm kg−1 over a medium range of 151–3440 mOsm kg−1. Whole body sodium increased from 3·65 to 15·0 μmol Na+ mg DW−1 (dry weight) over the medium range 80–1900 mM Na+. Comparative studies on Artemia nauplii and the prawn Palaemon elegans revealed the characteristic hyper-hyporegulation of both organisms. Body density of T. brevicornis remains greater than that of the external medium over the salinity range 5–100 psu because of changes in body fluid osmolality and body volume. Median body density values for T. brevicornis ranged from 1·0359 g ml−1 in 5 psu (median density of 5psu seawater–1·0017 g ml−1) to 1·0848 g ml−1 in 100 psu (median density of 100 psu seawater=1·0751 g ml−1). Tigriopus brevicornis is principally a benthic forager and needs to remain negatively buoyant over a wide salinity range. Environmental monitoring of five supralittoral rockpools was conducted over a year. Live or dormant T. brevicornis were found in salinities of 4–150 psu; temperatures of −1 to +32°C and oxygen concentrations of 0 to >20 mg l−1. It is probably of advantage to T. brevicornis to be an osmoconformer; it is perhaps energetically efficient for such a small organism (~1 mm) and avoids buoyancy problems at high salinity.

Sodium is an essential nutrient and inadequate sodium intake and/or excessive sodium losses can result in suboptimal growth. Infants with ileostomies are at significant risk of developing growth failure as a result of excessive sodium loss in their ileostomy effluent. Chronic sodium depletion can also limit the kidney’s ability to excrete hydrogen and potassium ions, mimicking electrolyte abnormalities found in type 4 renal tubular acidosis. This report describes an infant with an ileostomy with severe growth failure, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis—all of which promptly resolved with sodium supplementation.

The epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) is tightly regulated by sodium intake to maintain whole body sodium homeostasis. In addition, ENaC is inhibited by high levels of intracellular Na+ [Na+]i, presumably to prevent cell Na+ overload and swelling. However, it is not clear if this regulation is relevant in vivo. We show here that in rats, an acute (4 h) oral sodium load decreases whole-cell amiloride-sensitive currents ( INa) in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) even when plasma aldosterone levels are maintained high by infusing the hormone. This was accompanied by decreases in whole-kidney cleaved α-ENaC (2.6 fold), total β-ENaC (1.7 fold), and cleaved γ-ENaC (6.2 fold). In addition, cell-surface β- and γ-ENaC expression was measured using in situ biotinylation. There was a decrease in cell-surface core-glycosylated (2.2 fold) and maturely glycosylated (4.9 fold) β-ENaC and cleaved γ-ENaC (4.7 fold). There were no significant changes for other apical sodium transporters. To investigate the role of increases in Na+ entry and presumably [Na+]i on ENaC, animals were infused with amiloride prior to and during sodium loading. Blocking Na+ entry did not inhibit the effect of resalting on INa. However, amiloride did prevent decreases in ENaC expression, an effect that was not mimicked by hydrochlorothiazide administration. Na+ entry and presumably [Na+]i can regulate ENaC expression but does not fully account for the aldosterone-independent decrease in INa during an acute sodium load.
