title: Synergistic effect of triiodothyronine and dexamethasone on renal tubular transport of p-aminohippurate in rats of different ages.
abstract: Postnatal maturation of the renal tubular transport of p-aminohippurate (PAH) was verified in rats both in diuresis experiand on renal cortical slices in vitro. Following treatment with various doses of triiodothyronine (T3) or dexamethasone (3 days, once a day), the increase in renal tubular transport of PAH was more distinct in young rats with immature kidney function. The synergistic effects of simultaneous treatment with both hormones indicate differences between T3 and dexamethasone in the modulation of cellular function.
