The effect of isoproterenol (Iso) on tubular transport in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) was investigated by in vitro microperfusion of MTAL (medullary) and CTAL (cortical) from White Swiss mouse kidney. The pattern of activation of adenylate cyclase along the distal tubule was investigated in this strain: results indicated that Iso stimulated adenylate cyclase fivefold in MTAL and ninefold in CTAL. Data from microperfusion experiments showed that Iso (10(-7) M in the bath) significantly and reversibly increased Ca and Mg reabsorption in CTAL. No net transport of Ca and Mg was observed in MTAL whether Iso was present or not. With regard to Na and Cl, Iso significantly stimulated their reabsorption in both segments and increased the transepithelial voltage in MTAL. Iso abolished K reabsorption in MTAL and induced a net K secretion in CTAL, the latter effect being also observed with 10(-9) M of Iso. When applied on CTAL, propranolol (10(-6) M in the bath) inhibited all these effects. These data indicate that beta-adrenergic agonists are involved in the multihormonal modulation of the TAL function.

D007684	Kidney Tubules	Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D008138	Loop of Henle	The U-shaped portion of the renal tubule in the KIDNEY MEDULLA, consisting of a descending limb and an ascending limb. It is situated between the PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE and the DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE.	Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle,Descending Limb of Loop of Henle,Henle Loop
D008274	Magnesium	A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008297	Male		Males
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
