ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As I stand at the threshold of earning my doctorate, I am overwhelmed when I recall all the people who have helped me get this far. First and foremost, I would like to thank my Ph.D. advisor, Professor Dr Florian Lang, for his constant support, guidance and inspiration. Professor Lang is a truly remarkable advisor who gives his students lots of new ideas and interacts closely with them. I have greatly benefited both from his excellent technical advice and from his role model as a successful researcher. I look forward to continuing my association with him in the future. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof Dr Peter Ruth for giving me the opportunity to present my dissertation at Faculty of Pharmacy and Chemistry, Eberhard Karls Universität, Tübingen. I would like to thank Dr Ferruh Artunc for his critical suggestions during my work. My graduate student career has also been enriched by interactions with several talented researchers including Dr. Adriana Magalska, Dr. Diana Sandulache, Dr. Rexhep Rexhepaj, Ciprian Sandu, Dr. Omaima Nasir and Dr. Raja Biswas. I would like to thank my fellow researchers Anand Rotte, Teresa Ackermann, Xuan Nguyen Thi, my friends Venkanna Pasham and Lalitha Biswas whose company I enjoyed a lot during my work. I would like to specially thank Dr. Daniela S Kempe for careful correction of my thesis. I am especially thankful to Elfirade Faber, Gisela Heck, Birgitta Noll and Maria Halter for their technical help and most importantly for their care and support throughtout my Ph.D work. I thank Uwe Schüler and Peter Dürr for their help with the software and instrument installations. I also would like to thank all the secretaries and administrative staff of Prof Lang. I would like to thank all my teachers, from elementary school through graduate school, for providing me with an excellent education. Most important of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my family for being an unstinting source of support and encouragement. My parents have inspired me a lot through their courage in overcoming the challenges of life, taught me the value of education and have worked hard to provide me the very best of it. They have always been there when I have needed them.

Summary II
SUMMARY Insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) regulate renal electrolyte excretion and the signalling includes PI3-kinase, PDK1, PKB and SGK isoforms. Thus SGK isoforms are expected to play a major role in the regulation of renal function which is evident from renal -/-phenotype ofsgk1mice. The end effect of PI3-kinase signalling is phosphorylation of GSK3 by PKB/SGK1 which results in inhibition of its activity. Accordingly, similar/parallel renal phenotype can be -/- KI expected betweensgk1 mice andgsk3mice where GSK3 is resistant to PKB/SGK1 inhibition. The first study was made to elucidate the role of GSK3 in renal electrolyte excretion and hormone release. The plasma aldosterone and corticosterone concentrations were significantly lower while 24-hour urinary aldosterone was significantly higher and urinary KIWT corticosterone tended to be higher ingsk3mice than ingsk3 mice. The possibility of KI WT reduced salt appetite due to low aldosterone was checked ingsk3 mice .Thegsk3 mice KI drank more saline over tap water whilegsk3 mice drank similar amounts of tap and saline KI water.gsk3mice display higher metabolic rate with significantly more food and fluid intake, + + fecal excretion, GFR, urinary flow rate and urinary Na , K and urea excretion with lower + plasma Na and urea concentrations and significantly higher blood pressure. + Enhanced Na excretion may at least partially be due to low aldosterone levels which + should however, not increase but decrease the renal K excretion. Thus, a renal mechanism + involving enhanced ENaC activity presumably causes enhanced renal K secretion as Lithium, an inhibitor of GSK3 is shown to downregulate ENaC expression. Higher fluid intake accounts for higher urinary flow rate but does not reflect decreased urine concentrating KIability, as urinary osmolarity is increased ingsk3mice. Water deprivation did not abrogate the differences in urine output. GSK3 may participate in the regulation of renal tubular water transport. The unrestrained GSK3 could downregulate NO-synthase which induces thirst. The role of GSK3 in eNOS regulation may further contribute to differences in BP. The results thus KI -/-indicate that the renal phenotype ofgsk3mice is different from thesgk1 mice in several aspects, thereby suggesting a more direct role of GSK3 in renal electrolyte balance. APC fosters degradation of ß-catenin which is known to upregulate a variety of proteins responsible for tumerogenesis. It was suggested and shown that SGK1 is among the proteins that are upregulated. SGK1 expression has also been shown recently to be enhanced Min/+ in gastric glands ofapcA similar upregulation was expected in the kidneys of mice. 2
