... hypertensive Dahl S rats on low NaCl diets. Thus potassium citrate feeding did not ordinarily alter papillary plasma flow. 2. When S rats were fed on a high (4%) NaCl diet for 24 weeks, they became severely hypertensive and developed nephrosclerosis with nephron loss. This accounted for the significant...

... in the pathogenesis of the sodium retention. 2. Based on measurements of the rate of urine flow and the clearances of free water and inulin during a maximal water diuresis, the fractional reabsorption of sodium by the ‘proximal’, ‘diluting segment’ and ‘distal’ segments of the nephron was estimated. For patients...

... of urate. 4. Since diminished urine flow rate in the distal part of the nephron is more likely to lead to enhanced reabsorption of urate, these results provide additional evidence for urate reabsorption in the distal part of the nephron. 2 10 1975 © 1976 The Biochemical Society and the Medical...

...S. G. Massry; J. J. Ahumada 1. The effect of unilateral renal vasodilatation produced by acetylcholine or bradykinin on free water clearance (C H2O ) and free water reabsorption (T c H2O ) was investigated in dogs in an effort to localize the site(s) in the nephron where renal vasodilatation...
