Abstract

The hypothesis was tested if the mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone stimulates Na+/H+ exchange in "giant cells" fused from individual target cells of the distal nephron of the frog kidney. By means of microelectrodes, steady-state intracellular pH (pHi) and pHi recovery from an acid load were recorded continuously while the fused cells were exposed to aldosterone. Twenty minutes after addition of the hormone, pHi started to rise and reached a new steady state after about 60 min (delta pHi = 0.28 +/- 0.01). After hormone treatment, pHi recovered significantly faster in response to an intracellular acid load. The diuretic drug amiloride blocked pHi recovery. Experiments in intact tubules showed that aldosterone induces H+ and K+ secretion. Thus, intracellular alkalosis, mediated by Na+/H+ exchange, could serve as a signal that activates pH-sensitive K+ channels of the luminal cell membrane.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
