Comparative physiology of renal tubular transport mechanisms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This manuscript discusses current concepts of glomerular filtration and tubular transport of sodium, water, potassium, and urinary acidification by vertebrate kidneys in a comparative context. Work in mammalian and amphibian nephrons receives major emphasis due to our interest in application of new techniques for investigation of cellular mechanisms; when available, data from other vertebrate classes are discussed.

Identification and proximal tubular localization of the Mg²⁺ transporter, Slc41a1, in a seawater fish.
The second most abundant cation in seawater (SW), Mg²⁺, is present at concentrations of ~53 mM. Marine teleosts maintain plasma Mg²⁺ concentration at 1-2 mM by excreting Mg²⁺ into the urine. Urine Mg²⁺ concentrations of SW teleosts exceed 70 mM, most of which is secreted by the renal tubular epithelial cells. However, molecular mechanisms of the Mg²⁺ secretion have yet to be clarified. To ident...
متن کاملNAD(P)H oxidase and renal epithelial ion transport.
A fundamental requirement for cellular vitality is the maintenance of plasma ion concentration within strict ranges. It is the function of the kidney to match urinary excretion of ions with daily ion intake and nonrenal losses to maintain a stable ionic milieu. NADPH oxidase is a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within many cell types, including the transporting renal epithelia. The focu...
متن کاملComparative physiology and architecture associated with the mammalian urine concentrating mechanism: role of inner medullary water and urea transport pathways in the rodent medulla.
Comparative studies of renal structure and function have potential to provide insights into the urine-concentrating mechanism of the mammalian kidney. This review focuses on the tubular transport pathways for water and urea that play key roles in fluid and solute movements between various compartments of the rodent renal inner medulla. Information on aquaporin water channel and urea transporter...
متن کاملThe kidney in vitamin B12 and folate homeostasis: characterization of receptors for tubular uptake of vitamins and carrier proteins.
Over the past 10 years, animal studies have uncovered the molecular mechanisms for the renal tubular recovery of filtered vitamin and vitamin carrier proteins. Relatively few endocytic receptors are responsible for the proximal tubule uptake of a number of different vitamins, preventing urinary losses. In addition to vitamin conservation, tubular uptake by endocytosis is important to vitamin me...
متن کاملDevelopment of an in situ perfused kidney preparation for elasmobranch fish: action of arginine vasotocin.
Acclimation of the European lesser-spotted dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula to reduced environmental salinity [85-70% seawater (SW)] induced a significant diuresis in addition to a significant decrease in plasma osmolality in vivo. The threshold for this diuresis was determined to be 85% SW. Therefore, S. canicula acclimated to 85% SW was selected for further study as a diuretic model in the devel...
