Urinary exosomes will be isolated by ultracentrifugation and ENaC abundance will be measured by immunoblotting as previously described (19;36) and normalized to urine creatinine levels. 4 µg of protein lysed in Laemmli buffer will be loaded on 8% SDS-PAGE. PAGE, blotting and blocking of the PVDF membranes will be done as previously described. Membrane will be incubated with 1:4000-diluted affinity-purified rabbit α-ENaC antibody (Rossier BC, Lausanne, Switzerland), followed by 1:5,000-diluted goat anti-rabbit IgG's as secondary antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase. Blotting signals will be visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence. The samples will be normalized for the expression level of α-ENaC in placebo treatment and indicated as percentage.
