Glucose transport in the short loop of Henle of the rat kidney. Its characterisation by transport constants

H Von Baeyer. Pflugers Arch. .

Abstract

Short loops of Henle in rat kidneys were perfused with proximal tubular equilibrium solutions containing radioactive D-glucose. The transport rates follow 2-parameter kinetics: Km = 5.7 mmol/I. Vmax - 145 X 10(-12) MOL/MIN-1; Phlorrhizin inhibits transport almost completely, indicating little passive diffusion of D-glucose. The glucose transport capacity in the short loops of Henle, presumably in the pars rects, is much smaller than that in superficial segments.
