Micropuncture study of ion and water reabsorption regulation range in the distal tubule of triton nephron

Abstract

Micropuncture of the distal tubule in triton nephron and ultramicroanalysis of samples showed that vasotocin stimulates transport of Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Cl- from the nephron lumen and increases permeability of the tubular wall for water. Prostaglandin E2 suppresses these processes.
