Abstract:
:The possibility that the rabbit collecting tubule is heterogeneous with respect to electrical and morphologic properties was examined in isolated segments. Collecting tubules from rabbits treated with desoxycorticosterone acetate were dissected from various locations within the cortex and outer medulla, and the transepithelial potential was measured. The cortical collecting tubule always displayed a negative potential. In contrast, collecting tubules dissected from the inner stripe of the outer medulla displayed a positive potential. That this change is a function of position within the kidney is supported by the observation that some tubules generated a negative potential at the superficial (cortical) end and a positive potential at the deep (medullary) end of the same tubule. Histologic evaluation of tubules after perfusion resulted in a striking correlation between the existence of a negative potential and the presence of dark cells. The results of this study provide evidence that the collecting tubule is heterogeneous with respect to active transport processes and suggest that these functional differences may correlate with morphologic differences between the cortical segment and the medullary segment of the collecting tubule.
