The effects of changes in transepithelial water flux (Jv) on sodium, chloride, calcium, and potassium transport by the proximal convoluted tubule were examined by applying a microperfusion technique to surface segments in kidneys of anesthetized rats. Perfusion solutions were prepared with ion concentrations similar to those in fluid normally present in the later parts of the proximal tubule. Osmolality of the perfusate was adjusted with mannitol. With no mannitol in the perfusates, net fluid absorption was observed. Addition of increasing amounts of mannitol first reduced Jv to zero and then reversed net fluid flux. At the maximal rates of fluid absorption, net absorption of Na, Cl, Ca, and K was observed. When Jv was reduced to zero, Na, Cl, and Ca absorption were reduced and K entered the lumen. Na, Cl, and Ca secretion occurred in association with the highest rates of net fluid secretion. The lumen-positive transepithelial potential progressively increased as the net fluid flux was reduced to zero and then reversed. The results demonstrate that changes in net water flux can affect Na, Cl, Ca, and K transport by the proximal convoluted tubule of the rat kidney. These changes in net ion fluxes are not entirely accounted for by changes in bulk-phase transepithelial electrochemical gradients.

Successful sperm function leads to fertilization. It is dependent on the extracellular environment, especially the array and concentration of various ions. Considerable evidence indicates that this is because of consequent effects on the intracellular ionic composition. Although both cations and anions undoubtedly play a role in a modulating sperm function, most of the evidence currently available concerns cations. Therefore, this review will concentrate on cations, focussing on Ca2+, Na+, K+ and H+. Their requirements for successful capacitation (mammalian sperm) and acrosomal exocytosis (both invertebrate and mammalian sperm) will be considered. In particular, the mechanisms which may control ion fluxes, leading to changes in the intracellular ionic composition and subsequently to changes in sperm functional potential, will be addressed.
