چکیده
TRUNIGER, BRUNO, AND BODIL SCHMIDT-NIELSEN. Intrarenal distribution of urea and related compounds: effects of nitrogen intake. Am. J. Physiol. 207(s) : 971-978. rg64.-Nitrogen and NaCl intake influence the excretion of urea. In rats maintained on a low-protein, high-salt intake the urea-to-inulin clearance ratio decreases to 0.01. In antidiuretic “low-protein” rats the urea concentrations in the inner medulla are higher than in the urine, whereas in rats on high-protein diet the urea concentration in the inner medulla is lower than in the urine. The specific activity of urea-Cl4 I hr after subcutaneous injection is approximately the same in plasma, renal cortex, and outer and inner medulla. The intrarenal distributions of acetamide and methylurea show the same pattern and are influenced by nitrogen intake in the same way as urea, whereas thiourea concentrations in urine are always higher than in the papilla. It is concluded a) that urea formation cannot account for papilla urea concentrations higher than urine concentrations; b) that the handling of urea and related compounds in the collecting duct changes in a similar way with changes in the nitrogen and salt intake; and c) that in the rat urea, methylurea, and acetamide are either reabsorbed in the collecting duct against their concentration gradients or bound by the papilla tissue.

Effects of Levels of Ficus (Ficus sycomorus) Supplementation on Voluntary Feed Intake, Nutrient Digestibility and Nitrogen Balance in Yankasa Bucks Fed Urea Treated Maize Stover Basal Diet
The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding varying levels of Ficus sycomorus leaf forages as protein supplements to a basal diet of urea treated maize stover. Four Yankasa goats averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to measure the feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen balance. The basal diet (urea treated maize stover) was supplemented with 0 (T1), 50 (T2), 100...

To evaluate the effects of treating or supplementing common reed (Phragmites australis) with 2% urea on intake, nutrient apparent digestibility, and blood metabolites, fifteen Baluchi rams (35.4±2.3 kg body weight) were used in a completely randomized design. Treatments were as follows: 1) common reed, 2) common reed supplemented with 2% urea solution at feeding, and 3) common reed tre...
متن کاملStereological Evaluation of Cell Proliferation following Intrarenal Injection of Platelet-rich Plasma in Gentamicin-treated Rats
Background & objectives: Nephrotoxicity is the most important side effect of gentamicin and is a concern in clinical situations. There are no therapeutic tools to prevent or palliate nephrotoxicity. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a source of growth factors can be considered as a therapeutic tool. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PRP on proliferation of epithel...
