Abstract
Rabbit medullary collecting duct (MCD) acidification has been demonstrated to occur by means of a sodium-independent, aldosterone-stimulated mechanism. We have examined the anionic dependence of this process by means of the isolated perfused tubule technique. Total replacement of perfusate chloride with gluconate enhanced tubular bicarbonate reabsorption (JHCO3), from a basal rate of 10.7 +/- 1.0 pmol X mm-1 X min-1 to a rate of 15.01 +/- 1.0 pmol X mm-1 X min-1. Removal of bath chloride, with and without removal of perfusate chloride completely abolished acidification. Bath, but not luminal 4-acetamido-4' isothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene provoked a marked decrease in JHCO3 from 10.1 +/- 1.2 pmol X mm-1 X min-1 to 2.3 +/- 0.3 pmol X mm-1 X min-1. Measurement of chloride reabsorptive rate (JCl) revealed colinearity between JHCO3 (9.18 +/- 0.9 pmol X mm-1 X min-1) and JCl (9.75 +/- 1.18 pmol X mm-1 X min-1). We propose a model of mammalian distal nephron acidification in which (a) cellular base exit is effected by means of a basolateral membrane Cl-base exchanger and (b) net electroneutrality of electrogenic proton secretion is maintained by the parallel movement of an anionic species, functionally chloride.

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.
