title: Renal alterations promoted by the lectins from Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Dioclea guianensis (DguiL) seeds.
abstract: The lectin from the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis (ConA) and Dioclea guianensis (DguiL) was tested upon its renal effects using the isolated perfusion rat kidney method. Both lectins (10 microg/ml) affected perfusion pressure and renal vascular resistance, but DguiL showed a much greater action than ConA. However, ConA, but not DguiL, affected potassium tubular transport.
