Architecture of kangaroo rat inner medulla: segmentation of descending thin limb of Henle's loop.
We hypothesize that the inner medulla of the kangaroo rat Dipodomys merriami, a desert rodent that concentrates its urine to more than 6,000 mosmol/kgH(2)O water, provides unique examples of architectural features necessary for production of highly concentrated urine. To investigate this architecture, inner medullary nephron segments in the initial 3,000 μm below the outer medulla were assessed...

15 صفحه اولMixed descending- and ascending-type thin limbs of Henle's loop in mammalian renal inner medulla.
Previous studies have generally indicated that the entire descending (DTL) and ascending thin limbs (ATL) of Henle's loops in the mammalian inner medulla exhibit structurally and functionally distinct properties. In the present study, we found that about 50% of Munich-Wistar rat inner medullary thin limbs, lying at positions distinctly above the bend, had segments exhibiting structural characte...
متن کاملImmunomorphometric study of rat renal inner medulla.
We utilized immunofluorescent immunolabeling of renal tissue sections to identify and count tubules at specified depths of the rat renal inner medulla. We used primary antibodies to aquaporin-1 (AQP1; labeling thin descending limbs), aquaporin-2 (AQP2; labeling inner medullary collecting ducts), the rat kidney-specific chloride channel (ClC-K1; labeling thin ascending limbs), and von Willebrand...
متن کاملCell volume regulation by the thin descending limb of Henle's loop.
Thin descending limb cells from Henle's loop (from the inner strip of the outer medulla of long loops) were studied with optical and video techniques to identify the mechanisms of ion transport and cell volume regulation. Increasing the K+ concentration in the basolateral solution from 5 to 90 mM caused the cells to swell. This K+-induced swelling was inhibited by exposure of the basolateral me...
