The role of the endothelin-B receptor in vascular homeostasis is controversial because the receptor has both presser and depressor effects in vivo. One potential depressor mechanism of endothelin-B activation is through the promotion of natriuresis and diuresis in the renal tubule. Recent studies demonstrate that rodents genetically deficient for the endothelin-B exhibit sodium-dependent hypertension due to an absence of tonic inhibition of the epithelial sodium channel in the distal nephron. These studies suggest that the predominant role of endothelin-B receptors in the basal physiologic state may be to regulate renal sodium excretion relative to the level of oral salt intake.
