    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La distribution intrarénale des débits de filtration glomérulaire par néphron (fg) est étudiée en fonction de l'apport sodé chez trois groupes de rats: normaux, carencés en sodium et surchargés en sodium. Les fg ont été déterminées soit indirectement par la méthode de Hanssen soit grâce à une modification de cette méthode qui procure directement les valeurs absolues [23]. Chez les rats normaux, la fg est égale à 27,9 nl/min pour les néphrons superficiels et à 38,5 nl/min pour les néphrons juxtamédullaires. Il n'existe pas de différence décelable entre les fg de nos rats sans sel et celles de nos rats normaux. Chez les rats surchargés en sel, les fg des néphrons superficiels et juxtamédullaires passent respectivement à 52,4 nl/min et à 52,7 nl/min. Au cours de nos surcharges sodées l'augmentation de filtration glomérulaire du rein résulte donc d'une augmentation de la fg de tous les néphrons. Celle-ci est cependant nettement plus marquée pour les néphrons superficiels et le rapport fg néphrons superficiels/fg néphrons juxtamédullaires qui est de 0,7 environ chez les rats normaux et sans sel, atteint 1,0 au cours de nos surcharges sodées. Ainsi dans cette dernière condition physiologique l'hétérogénéité fonctionnelle des néphrons disparaît. La variation des fg est discutée en fonction de ce que l'on sait de la variation de la distribution intrarénale de la rénine sous l'influence de l'apport sodé.
    Notes: Summary The intrarenal distribution of single glomerular filtration rates (SGFR) was studied in rats previously fed a normal or a low sodium diet during antidiuresis, or in rats previously fed a high sodium diet during hypertonic saline diuresis. SGFR were determined either indirectly by Hanssen's technique, or directly by means of a modification of this technique which gives absolute values [23]. In the normal rats, the mean value of SGFR of superficial and juxtamedullary nephrons was equal to 27.9 nl/min and 38.5 nl/min, respectively. There was no appreciable difference between SGFR in our normal and salt-deprived rats. In the salt-loaded rats, the mean value of SGFR of superficial and juxtamedullary nephrons reached 52.4 nl/min and 52.7 nl/min, respectively. Therefore, the increase of the GFR of the whole kidney during salt loading was due to an increase of SGFR of all the nephrons. However, the increase of SGFR was more important for the superficial ones and the ratio SGFR superficial nephrons/SGFR juxtamedullary nephrons which was 0.7 in the normal rats reached 1.0 in the salt-loaded rats, indicating that there was no more functional heterogeneity of nephrons during our salt loadings. The variation of SGFR is discussed in relation to the sodium dependent variation of the intrarenal distribution of renin observed by many authors.

    Notes: Summary Non-diuretic rats and saline diuretic psammomys received 0.05 ml14C Na ferrocyanide i.v. Their kidneys were frozen in vivo 8–10 sec later. The quantity of14C ferrocyanide precipitated as prussian blue (Hanssen) in the lumen of a microdissected proximal tubule was proportional to its glomerular filtration rate (gfr). Distance between dye front and glomerulus was proportional to mean flow velocity (v). Fractional water reabsorption at the dye front was calculated using gfr, v and luminal radius. There were large differences in gfr, v and fractional water reabsorption between superficial and deep nephrons. Published micropuncture data agrees quantitatively with our results. Glomerular volume, tubular length and luminal radius increased from superficial to juxtamedullary proximal tubules in both species. Filtration rate varied directly with glomerular volume suggesting an influence of capillary surface area on filtration. Tubular length and luminal radius correlated with gfr. Proximal water reabsorption rate correlated with luminal radius in psammomys but not in rat tubules. Water reabsorption by the entire proximal tubule decreased with length in rat tubules but increased in psammomys. The discrepancy may be due to differences in blood flow distribution which alter gfr and/or water reabsorption in superficial relative to deep nephrons.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on transepithelial Na+, Cl−, Ca2+ and Mg2+ net fluxes (JNa, JCl, JMg, JCa) was investigated in isolated perfused cortical thick ascending limb segments (cTAL) of the mouse nephron, using the microperfusion technique and the electron microprobe analysis to determine the ionic composition of the collected tubular fluid. Simultaneously, the transepithelial potential difference (PDte) and the transepithelial resistance (Rte) were recorded. Prior to the flux measurements cTAL segments were perfused for one hour. During this equilibration period PDte decreased significantly from +19.9±1.6 to +14.9±1.l mV and Rte increased from 30.6±3.5 Ωcm2 to 38.8±2.4 Ωcm2 (n=7), reflecting a decline in NaCl transport. After ADH was added to the bath solution at 10−10 mol.l−1, PDte increased from +14.4±1.1 to +18.0±1.5 mV, accompanied by a rise in JNa and JCl from 205±11 to 273±19 and from 216±12 to 283±21 pmol.min−1.mm−1 (n=7), respectively. JCa and JMg also increased from 0.81±0.07 to 1.50±0.12 and from 0.43±0.11 to 0.76±0.08 pmol.min−1.mm−1 (n=7), respectively. All these effects were fully reversible after withdrawal of the hormone. In conclusion our data indicate that ADH stimulates divalent cation transport and NaCl transport in the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop of the mouse.

    Notes: Abstract Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that in the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop of the mouse (cTAL) Ca2+ and Mg2+ are reabsorbed passively, via the paracellular shunt pathway. In the present study, cellular mechanisms responsible for the hormone-stimulated Ca2+ and Mg2+ transport were investigated. Transepithelial voltages (PDte) and transepithelial ion net fluxes (J Na, J Cl, J K, J Ca, J Mg) were measured in isolated perfused mouse cTAL segments. Whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) is able to stimulate Ca2+ and Mg2+ reabsorption when active NaCl reabsorption, and thus PDte, is abolished by luminal furosemide was first tested. With symmetrical lumen and bath Ringer's solutions, no Ca2+ and Mg2+ net transport was detectable, either in the absence or in the presence of PTH. In the presence of luminal furosemide and a chemically imposed lumen-to-bath directed NaCl gradient, which generates a lumen-negative PDte, PTH slightly but significantly increased Ca2+ and Mg2+ net secretion. In the presence of luminal furosemide and a chemically imposed bath-to-lumen-directed NaCl gradient, which generates a lumen-positive PDte, PTH slightly but significantly increased Ca2+ and Mg2+ net reabsorption. In view of the observed small effect of PTH on passive Ca2+ and Mg2+ movement, a possible interference of furosemide with the hormonal response was considered. To investigate this possibility, Ca2+ and Mg2+ transport was first stimulated with PTH in tubules under control conditions. Then active NaCl reabsorption was abolished by furosemide and the effect of PTH on J Ca and J Mg measured. In the absence of PDte and under symmetrical conditions, no Ca2+ and Mg2+ transport was detectable, either in the presence or absence of PTH. In the presence of a bath-to-lumen-directed NaCl gradient, Ca2+ and Mg2+ reabsorption was significantly higher in the presence than in the absence of PTH. Finally, when active NaCl transport was not inhibited by furosemide, but reduced by a bath-to-lumen-directed NaCl gradient, PTH strongly increased J Ca and J Mg, whereas only a small increase in PDte was noted. In conclusion, these data suggest that PTH exerts a dual action on Ca2+ and Mg2+ transport in the mouse cTAL by increasing the transepithelial driving force for Ca2+ and Mg2+ reabsorption through hormone-mediated PDte alterations and by modifying the passive permeability for Ca2+ and Mg2+ of the epithelium, very probably at the level of the paracellular shunt pathway.
