Table 2 Effect of ibuprofen on urine volume, urinary excretion of prostaglandin E2 (U-PGE2), aquaporin 2 (U-AQP2), urinary epithelial sodium channel (U-ENaCβ ), cyclic AMP (U-C-AMP), free water clearance (C H2O), serum osmolality (s-Osm) and plasma arginine vasopressin (P-AVP) during 24 hours fasting and 2½ hours period immediately after 24 hours fasting in a randomized placebo-controlled, cross over study in 17 healthy subjects

From: Increased renal sodium absorption by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis during fasting in healthy man. A possible role of the epithelial sodium channels
