Nephron Segments of Rat Kidney Cortex
Renal cortical tubules consist of polarized epithelial cells where Na/H antiport activity has been demonstrated on the apical and/or basolateral membrane. Apical Na/H antiport activity plays an important role in transcellular bicarbonate (HCO3) reabsorption, whereas basolateral Na/H antiport activity could be involved in transcellular HCO3secretion as well as cell volume and pH control. To dete...
متن کاملL-arginine metabolism in dog kidney and isolated nephron segments.
The renal basic amino acid metabolism often differs in rodents, strict carnivores, and omnivore species. Given the pivotal role of L-arginine and L-ornithine in several metabolic pathways and the fact that the dog is closely related to humans, being also an omnivore, we tested whether L-arginine metabolism and L-ornithine catabolism take place in the dog kidney. We examined the metabolism of L-...
متن کاملIsolated nephron segments from rabbit models of obstructive nephropathy.
Micropuncture and microcatheterization studies have been used extensively to investigate the pathophysiologic alterations in renal function induced by urinary tract obstruction. The present isolated tubule microperfusion studies were designed to examine the intrinsic alterations in segmental nephron function induced by 24 h of bilateral (BUO) and unilateral (UUO) urinary tract obstruction. Foll...
متن کاملDisparate mechanisms for hypoxic cell injury in different nephron segments. Studies in the isolated perfused rat kidney.
Hypoxic injury was evaluated morphologically in the proximal tubule and in the medullary thick ascending limb of isolated rat kidneys perfused for 90 min without O2 or with various metabolic inhibitors. Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration (with rotenone, antimycin, oligomycin) or of intermediary metabolism (with monofluoroacetate, malonate, 2-deoxyglucose) caused reduction in renal oxygen c...
متن کاملSodium-pump gene-expression, protein abundance and enzyme activity in isolated nephron segments of the aging rat kidney
Aging is associated with alteration in renal tubular functions, including sodium handling and concentrating ability. Na-K-ATPase plays a key role in driving tubular transport, and we hypothesized that decreased concentrating ability of the aging kidney is due in part to downregulation of Na-K-ATPase. In this study, we evaluated Na and K balance, aldosterone levels, and Na-K-ATPase gene expressi...
