Permeability of the Urinary Bladder to Urea and Sodium Chloride
نویسنده
چکیده
There are few subjects in physiology that have a larger and more controversial literature than that of absorption from the urinary bladder. For the literature the papers of Garota (l), Hamburger (2), and the quite recent one of Mann and Magoun (3) may be consulted. We shall refer only to the more important communications dealing with the permeability for substances normally present in the urine.

Relationship of aggregated intramembranous particles to water permeability in vasopressin-treated toad urinary bladder.
It has been previously demonstrated with freeze-fracture electron microscopy that vasopressin induces specific structural alterations of the luminal membrane of granular cells from toad urinary bladder in a dose-dependent fashion. These alterations consist of aggregated intramembranous particles and are observed both in the presence and absence of an osmotic gradient. We examined the effect of ...
متن کاملSingle anion-selective channels in basolateral membrane of a mammalian tight epithelium.
Basolateral membrane chloride permeability of surface cells from rabbit urinary bladder epithelium was studied using the patch-clamp technique. Two types of anion-selective channel were observed. One channel type showed inward rectification and had a conductance of 64 pS at-50 mV when bathed symmetrically by saline solution containing 150 mM chloride; the other resembled high-conductance voltag...
متن کاملVasopressin-stimulated movement of drugs and uric acid across the toad urinary bladder.
Vasopressin is known to increase the permeability of the toad bladder, an analogue of the mammalian collecting duct, to water and hydrophilic solutes such as urea. In the present study, the effect of vasopressin on the permeability of a series of lipophilic compounds, including many commonly used drugs, has been determined. In all cases, permeability increased from 50 to 100%. The response to v...
متن کاملAquaporin Expression Contributes to Human Transurothelial Permeability In Vitro and Is Modulated by NaCl
It is generally considered that the bladder is impervious and stores urine in unmodified form on account of the barrier imposed by the highly-specialised uro-epithelial lining. However, recent evidence, including demonstration of aquaporin (AQP) expression by human urothelium, suggests that urothelium may be able to modify urine content. Here we have we applied functional assays to an in vitro-...
متن کاملTransport physiology of the urinary bladder in teleosts: a suitable model for renal urea handling?
The transport physiology of the urinary bladder of both the freshwater rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) and the marine gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) was characterized with respect to urea, and the suitability of the urinary bladder as a model for renal urea handling was investigated. Through the use of the in vitro urinary bladder sac preparation urea handling was characterized under control c...
