title: Sugar transport: effect of temperature on concentrative uptake of alpha-methylglucoside by kidney cortex slices.
abstract: The ability of renal cortical slices to accumulate a monosaccharide is enhanced at temperatures below 37 degrees C. Increase in concentration gradients occurs despite a decrease in total sugar flux. The apparent explanation for this paradox is a proportionally greater inhibition of efflux.
