ransmembrane potential difference (pd) was studied in isolated perfused segments of rabbit proximal convoluted tubules. At perfusion flow rates above 10 nl/min the pd was -5.80 ±0.3 mv (lumen negative) when perfusing with isosmolal ultrafiltrate of same rabbit serum as the bath. That this pd is generated by transport activity of the tubule is supported by three separate observations: (a) pd reversibly decreased with cooling from 37°C to 25°C; (b) pd decreased when 10-5 M ouabain was added to the bath and reversed to control levels when ouabain was removed; and (c) heating to 47°C irreversibly decreased pd to zero. The magnitude of the pd was related to perfusion flow rate at slower rates than 10 nl/min. A decrease in flow rate was associated with a decrease in pd. The tubular geometry and transmembrane hydrostatic pressure were ruled out as the mediating factors governing the magnitude of observed pd.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
