Osmolality of vasa recta plasma in golden hamster's kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
As already reported (1-3), the osmolality of the fluid in the ascending limb is hypotonic to that of the fluid in the descending limb of the loop of Henle. These results are compatible with the operation of a countercurrent multiplier system in the thin limbs of the loops of Henle. " c • Š • ¹ • v • EŽROEû OEM • E —é –Ø • î ‰x • E Žðˆä • ¶ " ¿

An examination of transcapillary water flux in renal inner medulla.
We recently demonstrated that net fluid uptake occurs in the capillary system of the inner medulla. To define the site of fluid uptake, the concentration of protein was determined in plasma from descending vasa recta at the base and tip of the exposed papilla in Munich-Wister rats. The vasa recta plasma-to-arterial plasma protein concentration ratio (VR/P) was 1.43 +/- 0.09 at the base and 1.66...
متن کاملRole of UTB urea transporters in the urine concentrating mechanism of the rat kidney.
A mathematical model of the renal medulla of the rat kidney was used to investigate urine concentrating mechanism function in animals lacking the UTB urea transporter. The UTB transporter is believed to mediate countercurrent urea exchange between descending vasa recta (DVR) and ascending vasa recta (AVR) by facilitating urea transport across DVR endothelia. The model represents the outer medul...
متن کاملEvidence for a concentration gradient favoring outward movement of sodium from the thin loop of Henle.
Recent models of the urinary concentrating mechanism have postulated that urea in the medullary interstitium creates a transtubular concentration gradient for sodium between fluid at the end of the descending limb of Henle's loop and the medullary interstitium, favoring the passive outward movement of sodium from Henle's thin ascending limb. These experiments were designed to determine whether ...

متن کاملThe effect of urea infusion on the urinary concentrating mechanism in protein-depleted rats.
To explore the role of urea in the urinary concentrating mechanism, the contents of vasa recta, Henle's descending limbs and collecting ducts were sampled by micropuncture of the renal papilla before and after infusion of urea in 10 protein-depleted rats. Eight protein-depleted rats not given urea were similarly studied as a control group. After urea administration, osmolality and the concentra...
