Effect of diuretics on cell potassium transport: an electron microprobe study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To study the short-term uptake of potassium across the basolateral membrane into individual tubule cells, rubidium was used and measured by electron microprobe analysis. Changes of rubidium uptake were interpreted to reflect altered sodium entry and basolateral Na-K-ATPase activity. The effects of hydrochlorothiazide, amiloride and furosemide were determined in saline-loaded animals. Hydrochlorothiazide inhibited rubidium uptake in proximal convoluted and distal convoluted tubule cells. The effect was largest in distal convoluted tubule cells. Amiloride reduced rubidium uptake in principal cells as well as in proximal convoluted, distal convoluted and connecting tubule cells. Furosemide depressed rubidium uptake in distal convoluted tubule cells, but increased uptake in principal cells. Rubidium uptake into intercalated cells was not affected by any of the diuretics used. Hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride altered rubidium uptake also in cells not associated with the main diuretic action. These effects of hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride may be due to interference with cell transport mechanisms of Na-H and anion exchange.

Catecholamine-stimulated ion transport in duck red cells. Gradient effects in electrically neutral [Na + K + 2Cl] Co-transport
The transient increase in cation permeability observed in duck red cells incubated with norepinephrine has been shown to be a linked, bidirectional, co-transport of sodium plus potassium. This pathway, sensitive to loop diuretics such as furosemide, was found to have a [Na + K] stoichiometry of 1:1 under all conditions tested. Net sodium efflux was inhibited by increasing external potassium, an...
متن کاملEffect of Seed Layer on the Morphology of Zinc Oxide Nanorods as an Electron Transport Layer in Polymer Solar Cells
Zinc oxide has been considered as a promising semiconductor material for fabrication of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), electronic devices, optoelectronics, and solar cells. Among the various morphologies of zinc oxide, nanorods are more widely used because of the ease of synthesis and providing a direct path for the transport of charge carriers. The electrochemical deposi...
متن کاملSodium-Independent Active Potassium Reabsorption
In three corresponding groups of TPTX dogs, similar results were obtained. Acetazolamide (n = 7) inhibited FR of Na+ and Ca++ by 41%, but (TF/P)x+ fell from 1.03±0.03 to 0.89±0.04 (P <0.005) so that FR of K+ was unchanged (0.36-0.34). A separate uphill transport system for K+ in proximal tubules is therefore unmasked by acetazolamide, a drug which selectively inhibits Na+ (and Ca++) reabsorptio...
متن کاملCardiovascular benefits of aldosterone receptor antagonists: what about potassium?
Before the mid-1990s, much data supported the hypothesis that the primary mechanism action of aldosterone was to maintain sodium, volume, and potassium homeostasis. This is accomplished by a direct effect on epithelial cells of the distal segments of the nephron to actively promote sodium transport out of and potassium transport into the tubular lumen. This primary mechanism of action was reinf...
متن کاملThe effect of diuretics on extrarenal potassium tolerance.
A potassium loading study was performed in acutely nephrectomized rats to determine the extrarenal effects of diuretics on potassium tolerance. Four diuretics were evaluated: hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, bumetanide, and spironolactone. Following an intravenous potassium load (0.17 mEq/100 g over one hour), plasma potassium concentration rose by 2.69 +/- 0.26 to 3.67 +/- 0.20 mEq/L in all gr...
