Stop Flow

Proximal tubular reabsorption, stop-flow pressure (SFP), and single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) were measured in the absence of and during infusion of an isotonic saline solution containing either angiotensin I (ANG I; 10(-6) to 10(-5) M) or angiotensin II (ANG II; 10(-9) to 10(-7) M) into an adjacent peritubular capillary at a rate of 20 nl/min. Dilution of the infused ANG I and ANG II occurred in the peritubular capillary blood and as the peptides diffused into the interstitium. Infusion of either 10(-7) M ANG II or 10(-5) M ANG I increased proximal fractional fluid reabsorption (FRH2O) and decreased both SFP and SNGFR. There were no significant changes in FRH2O or SNGFR during infusion of 10(-5) M ANG I when the converting enzyme inhibitor enalaprilat (MK 422, 10(-3) M) was added to the infusate. Similarly, peritubular infusion at lower concentrations of either ANG II (10(-9) or 10(-8) M) or ANG I (10(-6) M) did not alter FRH2O, SFP, or SNGFR. These data indicate that conversion of ANG I to ANG II can occur in the peritubular capillary or interstitial environment and that increases above the normal endogenous levels in the postglomerular interstitial ANG II concentration can enhance proximal tubular reabsorption and increase preglomerular resistance and thereby reduce SNGFR.

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

Pregnancy is characterized by progressive water and sodium accumulation and increases in renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, the influence of the different nephron segments on the increased tubular reabsorption is controversial. Consequently, four nonpregnant and five pregnant sheep were studied, after chronic instrumentation, to assess salt and water reabsorption in the proximal and distal tubules under basal and volume-loaded conditions. Lithium clearance was used as a marker for proximal tubular reabsorption. Volume loading was achieved by the rapid administration of 1,000 ml isotonic saline followed by 250 ml/h for 2 h. Under basal conditions with reference to the nonpregnant state, pregnant sheep had higher (P < 0.05) levels of right RBF (427 +/- 34 vs. 313 +/- 8 ml/min), GFR (133 +/- 7 vs. 94 +/- 9 ml/min), proximal tubular reabsorption (102 +/- 7 vs. 73 +/- 6 ml/min), distal nephron fluid delivery (31 +/- 2 vs. 20 +/- 2 ml/min), and fractional distal nephron reabsorption of fluid (92 +/- 2 vs. 87 +/- 1%) and sodium (98.8 +/- 0.3 vs. 97.0 +/- 0.7%). However, pregnant animals had significantly (P < 0.05) reduced fractional excretions of fluid (1.6 +/- 0.3 vs. 2.6 +/- 0.2%) and sodium (0.24 +/- 0.06 vs. 0.63 +/- 0.19%), but similar levels of filtration fraction, fractional proximal tubular reabsorption, urine flow, urinary sodium excretion, and osmolar and free water clearance. After saline loading, pregnant sheep excreted significantly (P < 0.05) less sodium (9.2 vs. 28.6%) and water (39.8 vs. 56.5%). Decreases in fractional proximal and distal nephron reabsorption of sodium and water after saline loading were attenuated in pregnant animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

The rate of proximal tubular reabsorption of phosphate (Pi) is a major determinant of Pi homeostasis. Deviations of the extracellular concentration of Piare corrected by many factors that control the activity of Na-Pi cotransport across the apical membrane. In this review, we describe the regulation of proximal tubule Pi reabsorption via one particular Na-Pi cotransporter (the type IIa cotransporter) by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and dietary phosphate intake. Available data indicate that both factors determine the net amount of type IIa protein residing in the apical membrane. The resulting change in transport capacity is a function of both the rate of cotransporter insertion and internalization. The latter process is most likely regulated by PTH and dietary Pi and is considered irreversible since internalized type IIa Na-Picotransporters are subsequently routed to the lysosomes for degradation.

Proximal Tubular Reabsorption

A nonobstructing optical method was developed to measure proximal tubular fluid reabsorption in rat nephron at 0.25 Hz. The effects of uncaging luminal nitric oxide (NO) on proximal tubular reabsorption were investigated with this method. Proximal fluid reabsorption rate was calculated as the difference of tubular flow measured simultaneously at two locations (0.8–1.8 mm apart) along a convoluted proximal tubule. Tubular flow was estimated on the basis of the propagating velocity of fluorescent dextran pulses in the lumen. Changes in local tubular flow induced by intratubular perfusion were detected simultaneously along the proximal tubule, indicating that local tubular flow can be monitored in multiple sites along a tubule. The estimated tubular reabsorption rate was 5.52 ± 0.38 nl·min−1·mm−1 ( n = 20). Flash photolysis of luminal caged NO (potassium nitrosylpentachlororuthenate) was induced with a 30-Hz UV nitrogen-pulsed laser. Release of NO from caged NO into the proximal tubule was confirmed by monitoring intracellular NO concentration using a cell-permeant NO-sensitive fluorescent dye (DAF-FM). Emission of DAF-FM was proportional to the number of laser pulses used for uncaging. Photolysis of luminal caged NO induced a dose-dependent inhibition of proximal tubular reabsorption without activating tubuloglomerular feedback, whereas uncaging of intracellular cGMP in the proximal tubule decreased tubular flow. Coupling of this novel method to measure reabsorption with photolysis of caged signaling molecules provides a new paradigm to study tubular reabsorption with ambient tubular flow.
