RESUMO

The relationship between peritubular capillary protein concentration and rate of sodium reabsorption by the rat proximal tubule was examined using free-flow recollection micropuncture techniques. Tubule fluid-to-plasma inulin ratios were measured before, during, and at successive intervals after brief (15-25 sec) intra-aortic injections (at the level of the renal artery) of colloid-free, isoncotic, and hyperoncotic solutions. Arterial hematocrit and protein concentrations were measured simultaneously in these rats. In other rats, total protein concentration of peritubular capillary blood plasma was determined before, during, and after these same infusions with a newly described submicroliter fiber-optic colorimeter.
