Abstract
|
|
|
The effect of sodium on p-aminohippurate (PAH) transport kinetics was studied in isolated rat kidney slices in an attempt to define the role of sodium ion in renal organic acid transport.
1. In normally metabolizing renal slices, Na^(+) increased the Vmax of PAH influx without changing the Michaelis constant(Km). On the other hand, the efflux of preaccumulated PAH was reduced as the Na^(+) concentration increased.
2. In metabolically impaired renal slices, Na^(+) had no apparent effect on the influx and efflux of PAH.
These results may indicate that Na^(+) is important for the energy transducing reaction in the PAH transport process.
