An electrogenic Na+/HCO3- cotransport system was studied in freshly dissociated Müller cells of the salamander retina. Cotransporter currents were recorded from isolated cells using the whole-cell, voltage-clamp technique following the block of K+ conductance with external Ba2+ and internal Cs+. At constant pHo, an outward current was evoked when extracellular HCO3- concentration was raised by ...

Hydrogeological investigation have been carried out in Dantewada district. Groundwater samples were collected from selected locations in month of September 2013 and analyzed for major and minor cations & anions. Piper Diagram identified Ca-Mg-HCO3 dominantin water in most of the samples. The dominance of anions and cations were of the order of HCO3 > SO4 2>Cl > NO3 > PO4 2and Mg 2+ >Ca 2+ > Na ...

The rat proximal tubule epithelium is represented as well-stirred, compliant cellular and paracellular compartments bounded by mucosal and serosal bathing solutions. With a uniform pCO2 throughout the epithelium, the model variables include the concentrations of Na, K, Cl, HCO3, H2PO4, HPO4, and H, as well as hydrostatic pressure and electrical potential. Except for a metabolically driven Na-K ...

Pancreatic acini loaded with the pH-sensitive dye 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein were used to examine the effect of Ca2(+)-mobilizing agonists on the activity of acid-base transporters in these cells. In the accompanying article (Muallen, S., and Loessberg, P. A. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 12813-12819) we showed that in 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES...

in the present study, 45 rainwater samples were collected from february to december 2012 on event basis in east bokaro coal mining environment. physico-chemical and major ionic compositions of rainwater samples as well as water soluble major ion composition were analyzed to employ principle component analysis for source identification. the average ph value was recorded 6.1 and varied from 5.1 t...

The gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) intestine secretes base mainly in the form of HCO3- via apical anion exchange to serve Cl- and water absorption for osmoregulatory purposes. Luminal HCO3- secretion rates measured by pH-stat techniques in Ussing chambers rely on oxidative energy metabolism and are highly temperature sensitive. At 25 degrees C under in vivo-like conditions, secretion rates averag...

Previous studies that have evaluated the Na(+)-H+ antiporter in cells from hypertensive subjects were generally performed under conditions in which HCO3-CO2, the physiological buffer system, was absent from the assay media. The objective of this study was to evaluate the activity of the Na(+)-H+ antiporter and that of the Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent Cl(-)-HCO3- exchangers in cells ass...

The study determines the major ion chemistry of Teesta River catchment in Eastern Himalayan region and evaluates hydrochemical processes controlling water composition area. Water basin was neutral to alkaline condition. HCO3−, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+ SO42- were identified as dominant ionic species Ca-Mg-HCO3 facies. Higher contribution (Ca2++Mg2+) HCO3− towards TZ+ TZ−, high ratios (Ca2++Mg2+)/(Na++K+)...
