Chronic Hyperkalemia Impairs Ammonium Transport
Introduction Previously we demonstrated in rats that chronic hyperkalemia had no effect on ammonium secretion by the proximal tubule in vivo but that high K+ concentrations inhibited ammonium absorption by the medullary thick ascending limb in vitro. These observations suggested that chronic hyperkalemia may reduce urinary ammonium excretion through effects on medullary transport events. To exa...
متن کاملSubstrate specificity of Rhbg: ammonium and methyl ammonium transport.
Rhbg is a nonerythroid membrane glycoprotein belonging to the Rh antigen family. In the kidney, Rhbg is expressed at the basolateral membrane of intercalated cells of the distal nephron and is involved in NH4+ transport. We investigated the substrate specificity of Rhbg by comparing transport of NH3/NH4+ with that of methyl amine (hydrochloride) (MA/MA+), often used to replace NH3/NH4+, in oocy...
متن کاملpH sensitivity of ammonium transport by Rhbg.
Rhbg is a membrane glycoprotein that is involved in NH(3)/NH(4)(+) transport. Several models have been proposed to describe Rhbg, including an electroneutral NH(4)(+)/H(+) exchanger, a uniporter, an NH(4)(+) channel, or even a gas channel. In this study, we characterized the pH sensitivity of Rhbg expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We used two-electrode voltage clamp and ion-selective microelectrode...
متن کاملAmmonium (methylammonium) transport by Azospirillum spp
In recent years soil bacteria of the genus Azospirillum found increasing biological and ecological interest because of their ability to microaerobically fix N 2 and to live in close association with plant roots, stimulating growth of nitrogenlimited plants [1-5]. The physiology of N 2 fixation, especially its repression by N H + , has been studied extensively [6-9]. The question, however, how N...
متن کاملAmmonium removal in granular activated carbon up-flow submerged reactors containing native bacterial consortium
Free ammonium in industries wastewater could be one of the worst toxic contaminants of aquatic life if diluted in water. Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) is the most common method for removing ammonium and nitrate from wastewater. Attached growth and suspended growth are the main BNR systems. The aim of the present work was to study the treatment of petrochemical wastewater (ammonium and nitra...
