“…Wen (26) demonstrated that after extracellular volume expansion, fractional and absolute glucose excretions in the final urine were not increased despite a reduction in proximal tubule glucose reabsorption. Similar data has also been reported in the rat (10). It was then suggested that a site distal to the proximal convoluted tubule had the capacity to completely reabsorb the excess distal delivery.…”

“…Thus for a reversible glucose carrier, net movement would be determined by relative, sodium-influenced intraluminal and intracellular affinities for glucose as well as by the transmembrane glucose concentration gradients. It would be predicted that a steady-state intraluminal concentration of glucose would arise in appropriate circumstances, as in the present study and in some previous reports (Rohde & Deetjen, 1968;Frohnert et al 1970;von Baeyer et al 1973). Furthermore, inhibition of such a reversible carrier would be expected to reduce net secretion of glucose, as was found when phlorizin was added to the glucose-free saline perfusate (Table 5).…”

SUMMARY1. The effects of glucose on sodium and water reabsorption by rat renal proximal tubules was investigated by in situ microperfusion of segments of proximal tubules with solutions containing glucose or no glucose, with and without phlorizin.2. Absence of glucose did not significantly alter net water flux. Sodium flux was reduced by about 10 % but this was not statistically significant.3. In the absence of glucose in the perfusion fluid net secretion of glucose occurred. 4. Phlorizin reduced either net reabsorption or net secretion of glucose; and net water flux.5. The data suggest that in later parts of the proximal convoluted tubule some sodium may be co-transported with glucose, but that this represents only a small fraction of the total sodium reabsorption.6. It is suggested that the glucose carrier is reversible and in appropriate circumstances could cause glucose secretion.7. Althoughphlorizin alters net water flux the underlying mechanisms are not clear. 8. The calculated osmolality of the reabsorbate was significantly greater than the perfusate osmolality and greater than plasma osmolality although this was not quite significant statistically.

“…However, there is general agreement over certain observations on transport in the very early postglomerular segment of the superficial proximal convolution (_ the first 15-20% of the convolution). Filtered glucose (28)(29)(30)(31)(32) and amino acids (33)(34)(35)(36)(37) are mostly reabsorbed in the early segment. In addition there is early rapid HCO3 reabsorption (38,39) resulting in a reciprocal rise of the intraluminal Cl concentration.…”

A B S T R A C T Segments of superficial and juxtamedullary proximal convoluted tubules of the rabbit were perfused in vitro to examine the mechanisms responsible for net volume reabsorption. The very early postglomerular segments were not studied. Fluid reabsorptive rates and transepithelial potential differences were compared under various conditions: (a) with perfusate that simulated glomerular filtrate; (b) with perfusate that lacked glucose, amino acids, and acetate and that had HCO3 and Cl concentrations of 5 and 140 mM, respectively; (c) with perfusate that lacked glucose, amino acids, and acetate but with 20 meq ofNaHCO3 replaced with 20 meq ofNa cyclamate; (d) with the same perfusate as in b but in the presence of ouabain in the bath; (e) with ultrafiltrate of rabbit serum titrated with HC1 to final HCO3 and Cl concentrations of 2 and 134 mM, respectively. Tubules were perfused with this titrated ultrafiltrate at 37°C, 21°C, and in the presence of 0.1 mM ouabain in the bath. Bath fluid in all experiments was regular rabbit serum. Under conditions a and b superficial proximal convoluted tubule (SFPCT) and juxtamedullary proximal convoluted tubule (JMPCT) behaved similarly with the exception that SFPCT exhibited a lumen-positive and JMPCT a lumen-negative electrical potential under condition b. However, undeT condition c SFPCT failed to exhibit net volume reabsorption, whereas reabsorption in JMPCT continued unchanged. Ouabain did not affect volume reabsorption in SFPCT under condition
