The effects of porins on renal hemodynamics and on the renal handling of salt and water were studied in rats. The animals injected with 100 micrograms/kg of porins showed an important change in renal potassium handling. In fact the total potassium excretion decreased significantly (p less than 0.02) from 1.11 +/- 0.13 to 0.495 +/- 0.069 muEq/min/100 g and was significantly associated to a reduction of fractional potassium excretion from 21.6 +/- 4.1% to 12.53 +/- 0.95% (p less than 0.001). It is speculated that porins have the capability to close the potassium channels.
