In 1995 he was elected to honorary membership in the American Society for Clinical Investigation. He is past president of the American Physiological Society . We are also studying the effects of other autocoids in modulating the primary hormonal effects. Using physiological, biochemical, cellular and molecular biological approaches, we are examining the effects of dietary salt intake and genotype on the expression of autocoid receptor isoforms and their intracellular second messengers as an approach to understanding possible etiologies of salt-dependent hypertension. Microtubule disruption prevents an AVP-stimulated chloride secretion but not sodium reabsorption in A6 cells.
