The amount of water reabsorbed depends on the number of water channels (aquaporins) expressed in the collecting duct walls, which in turn depends on urine osmolarity.
La cantidad de agua reabsorbida depende de los canales de agua (acuaporinas) expresados en las paredes del conducto colector, lo cual depende de la osmolaridad de la orina.
