Reduced hexokinase activity in renal medullary tissue from rabbits with inferior vena caval constriction.
Caval constriction in rabbits results in reduced blood flow to outer cortical tissue but blood flow to juxtamedullary cortex and outer medullary tissue is increased. The present study indicates that this shift in tissue perfusion is accompanied by a reduction in hexokinase activity.
