title: High sodium diet and Na+-stimulated ATPase activities in basolateral plasma membranes from rat kidney proximal tubular cells.
abstract: The ouabain-insensitive, Na+-stimulated ATPase activity of kidney proximal tubular cells from rats fed a high Na+ diet for 4 months was increased approximately 70% when compared with control (normal diet) rats. The higher ATPase activity was not due to a change in the affinity of the system toward ATP, Mg2+ or Na+. This increase in Na+-ATPase activity may be due to either a higher number of pumps or to a higher turnover rate of the enzyme or both. The ouabain-sensitive, Na+, K+-stimulated ATPase activity, on the other hand, did not change with the high sodium diet. These results can be taken as evidence that the Na+,K+-ATPase and the Na+-ATPase of basolateral plasma membranes of proximal tubular cells from rat kidney are two different entities.
