title: Na+-dependent p-aminohippurate transport at the basolateral side of the isolated perfused rat kidney.
abstract: The uptake of p-amino[3H]hippurate by isolated perfused rat kidney was studied to characterize the mechanism which was responsible for organic anion transport process. A rapid injection multiple indicator dilution technique and the distributed two-compartment model of Sawada et al. (Computer Methods Programs Biomed., 20 (1985) 51) were employed. Some characteristics of a carrier-mediated transport from the antiluminal space to the intracellular space for p-aminohippurate at the basolateral side were demonstrated: the uptake was stimulated by the countertransport effect and showed Na+ dependency. These findings are consistent with p-amino[3H]hippurate's being taken up into the isolated rat basolateral membrane vesicle by Na+-dependent carrier-mediated transport (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 227 (1983) 122). It is suggested that the multiple indicator dilution technique is a sensitive new method to study the mechanisms of renal tubular transport in the living kidney as an organ.
