Streaming potentials and diffusion potentials across rabbit proximal convoluted tubule.

B Corman

    Pflugers Archiv : European Journal of Physiology
    |February 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Streaming potential in kidney tubules varies with location, becoming more negative in juxtamedullary segments. This finding supports the solute polarization hypothesis and aids in calculating hydraulic permeability.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Renal Physiology
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • The streaming potential is a transepithelial potential difference observed during osmotic water flow.
    • Understanding its generation is crucial for comprehending kidney tubule function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure and characterize streaming potential in rabbit kidney proximal convoluted tubules.
    • To investigate the relationship between streaming potential, tubule location, and ion permeability.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro perfusion of rabbit kidney proximal convoluted tubule S2 segments.
    • Measurement of streaming potential induced by raffinose and diffusion potential from NaCl gradients.
    • Comparison of potentials between mid-cortical and juxtamedullary tubule segments.

    Main Results:

    • Streaming potential amplitude varied from +0.9 to -1.8 mV.
    • Juxtamedullary tubules exhibited more lumen-negative streaming potentials than cortical tubules.
    • Streaming potential amplitude correlated with sodium (Na) to chloride (Cl) permeability ratios (PNa/PCl).

    Conclusions:

    • Results support the solute polarization in unstirred layers hypothesis for streaming potential generation.
    • The study proposes a method for calculating hydraulic permeability (Pf) considering unstirred layer effects.
