Sex differences in renal transporters: assessment and functional consequences

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 08 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41581-023-00757-2This Review summarizes our current understanding of sex differences in renal fluid and electrolyte transporters, based primarily on studies in rodents. The authors describe the physiological consequences of these differences, based on information from experimental studies and from model predictions, and discuss the differential impact of sex on transporter regulation by hormones, diet and acid–base status.
