Research Article

The relationship between glomerular filtration rate and sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubule of the rat nephron

Abstract

We have tested two of the hypotheses proposed to explain the adjustment in sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule that follows a change in the rate of glomerular filtration (glomerulotubular balance). Using the recollection micropuncture technique, we were able to measure the immediate and late changes in reabsorptive rate after an acute alteration in filtration rate produced by aortic constriction and release of constriction. It was found that fractional reabsorption, as measured by the inulin tubule fluid to plasma (TF/P) ratio, increased after aortic constriction and decreased after release, but that in most instances, absolute reabsorptive rate changed in parallel to glomerular filtration rate. The change was similar whether the collections were made less than 1 or more than 5 min after the change in blood pressure. The rapid time course of this adjustment in reabsorptive rate is viewed as evidence against an intrarenal humoral feedback mechanism.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
