The present in vitro microperfusion study compared the mechanism
and rates of NaCl transport in neonatal and adult rabbit proximal
straight tubules. In proximal straight tubules perfused with a late
proximal tubular fluid and bathed in a serumlike albumin solution, the
rate of volume absorption
(JV) was 0.54 ± 0.10 and 0.12 ± 0.05 nl · mm
1 · min
1
in adults and neonates, respectively
(P < 0.05). With the
addition of 10
5 M bath
ouabain, JV
decreased to 0.27 ± 0.07 and
0.03 ± 0.04 nl · mm
1 · min
1
in adult and neonatal tubules, respectively
(P < 0.05), consistent with lower
rates of active and passive NaCl transport in the neonatal proximal
straight tubule. The effect of luminal sodium and chloride removal on
intracellular pH was used to assess the relative rates of
Na+/H+
and Cl
/base exchange. The
rates of
Na+/H+
and Cl
/base exchange were
approximately fivefold less in neonatal proximal straight tubules than
adult tubules. In both neonatal and adult proximal straight tubules,
the rate of Cl
/base
exchange was not affected by formate, bicarbonate, or cyanide and
acetazolamide, consistent with
Cl
/OH
exchange. These data demonstrate an increase in proximal straight tubule NaCl transport during postnatal renal development.
