Effects of flow rate and potassium intake on distal tubular potassium transfer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Potassium transport was studied across proximal and distal tubular epithelium in rats on a normal, low- and high-potassium intake during progressive loading with isotonic saline (150 mM) or a moderately hypersomotic urea (200 mM) sodium chloride (100 mM) solution. Free-flow micropuncture and recollection techniques were used during the development of diruesis and tubular fluid (TF) analyzed for inulin-14C, potassium (K) and sodium (Na). Tubular puncture sites were localized by neoprene filling and microdissection. During the large increase in tubular flow rates (10 times): 1) fractional potassium reabsorption fell along the proximal tubule, 2) TFk along the distal tubule remained constant and independent of flow rate in control and high-k rats; thus, net potassium secretion increased in proportion to and was limited by flow rate. 3) In low-K rats TF k fell; with increasing flow rates distal K secretion was not effectively stimulated. 4) Distal tubular sodium reabsorption increased in all animals with flow rate, but tubular Na-K exchange ratios varied greatly. It is suggested that whenever sodium delivery stimulates distal tubular potassium secretion it does so by 1) increasing volume distal tubular potasssium secretion and by 2) augmenting the transepithelial electrical potential difference (lumen negative).

Characteristics of the relationship between the flow rate of tubular fluid and potassium transport in the distal tubule of the rat.
The flow rate of tubular fluid has been suggested as one of several factors which may influence potassium transport in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. In the present micropuncture studies, the relationship between the flow rate of distal tubular fluid and potassium transport was examined in four groups of rats. Three groups of rats (I, II, and IV) were fed normal rat chow before stu...
متن کاملDifferential acute effects of aldosterone, dexamethasone, and hyperkalemia on distal tubular potassium secretion in the rat kidney.
To determine the specific effects on renal potassium transport of acute elevations in plasma aldosterone, dexamethasone, and potassium concentrations, we studied adrenalectomized rats prepared such that each factor could be varied independently. Clearance data alone could not be used to deduce the underlying tubular transport effects, however, since infusion of each of these agents was associat...
متن کاملPotassium transport in the distal tubule and collecting duct of the rat.
Because of recent conflicting results, micropuncture studies were performed to clarify the respective role of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the regulation of urinary potassium excretion. Five groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were studied: group I, hydropenia (n = 10); group II, Ringer loading (n = 7); group III, acute KC1 loading (n = 6); group IV, mannitol diuresis (n = 6); ...
متن کاملSome reflections on the mechanism of renal tubular potassium transport.
Analysis of the driving forces acting on the movement of potassium across individual membranes of tubule cells shows that both active and passive components play an important role in the regulation of potassium transport. Distal and cortical collecting tubule and papillary collecting duct elements are the key nephron sites participating in a complex fashion to translate a wide variety of metabo...
