Increased water reabsorption in the descending limb of the nephron loop will result in decreased filtrate concentration at the turn of the loop. Increased water reabsorption in the ascending limb leads to decreased NaCl concentration in the filtrate of the ascending limb. Additionally, there is increased NaCl reabsorption in the ascending limb.

The nephron loop creates and maintains a salty medulla because water leaves the descending limb, which makes the tubular fluid more concentrated. This then stimulates the ascending limb to: - Pump out water - Reabsorb salts - Reabsorb water - Pump out salts Alcohol inhibits anti-diuretic hormone. As a result: - There are fewer aquaporins in the collecting duct - There are more aquaporins in the collecting duct - There is more water conservation - There is less urine volume
