Relationship between lipophilicity and tubular reabsorption for a series of 5-alkyl-5-ethylbarbituric acids in the isolated perfused rat kidney preparation. 1988

The renal clearances of a homologous series of six 5-substituted barbituric acids, of varying lipophilicity, were examined using a recirculating isolated perfused rat kidney preparation. Renal clearance was found to decrease with increasing lipophilicity. The renal clearance of the individual compounds was shown to be dependent on urine flow, with the dependence increasing with increasing lipophilicity. A simple physiologically based model of tubular reabsorption, evoking nonequilibrium permeability considerations, is used to explain this influence of urine flow on renal clearance. The relationship between clearance and tubular permeability was examined with the purpose of integrating lipophilicity into the model.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007677 Kidney Function Tests Laboratory tests used to evaluate how well the kidneys are working through examination of blood and urine. Function Test, Kidney,Function Tests, Kidney,Kidney Function Test,Test, Kidney Function,Tests, Kidney 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.
