Abstract

The effects of secretin vasodilation on peritubular capillary Starling forces and absolute proximal reabsorption were examined in the rat. Secretin was infused at 75 mU/kg per min into the aorta above the left renal artery. Efferent plasma flow increased from 125 +/- 28 to 230 +/- 40 nl/min with secretin infusion. Single nephron filtration rate (44 +/- 6 vs. 44 +/- 7 nl/min) and absolute proximal reabsorption (21 +/- 5 vs. 21 +/- 4 nl/min) were not significantly changed. Peritubular capillary and interstitial hydrostatic pressures increased with secretin infusions (from 9 +/- 0.4 to 15 +/- 0.7 mmHg and from 3 +/- 0.2 to 4 +/- 0.2 mmHg, respectively). Both peritubular capillary and interstitial oncotic pressures decreased (from 25 +/- 2 to 20 +/- 2 mmHg and from 10 +/- 1 to 4 +/- 1 mmHg, respectively) during secretin infusion. The net reabsorption pressure for peritubular capillary uptake significantly decreased from 9 +/- 2 to 5 +/- 2 mmHg and the coefficient of reabsorption increased from 3 +/- 1 to 6 +/- 2 nl/min per mmHg. We conclude that although secretin causes a vasodilation and decreases net reabsorption pressure, absolute proximal reabsorption is unchanged. Peritubular capillary uptake is maintained, and since net reabsorption pressure is decreased, the coefficient of reabsorption is increased.

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.
