17
Q

How does NHE3 facilitate Na+ reabsorption?

A

Moves Na+ down concentration gradient for exchange of H+ up concentration gradient
Also used in pH balance

18
Q

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. The Proximal tubule is the ‘powerhouse’ of the Nephron.
B. 100% of filtered glucose is reabsorbed by the SGLT2 and SGLT1 of the Proximal tubule cells.
C. If you have a high NaCl diet you will excrete more Na+ than a person who has a NaCl normal.
D. SGLT2 has a higher affinity for glucose than SGLT1.

A

D. SGLT2 has a higher affinity for glucose than SGLT1.

19
Q

What % of Na+ absorption does the Thin and Thick Ascending Loops of Henle (L of H) do?

A

25%

20
Q

What Na+ transporter is found in the apical membrane of the Thin and Thick Ascending Loops of Henle (L of H)?

A

Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2)

21
Q

How does NKCC2 facilitate Na+ reabsorption?

A

Requires Na+, K+, and Cl- to function
Na+ and Cl- move down concentration gradient; K+ moves against its gradient

22
Q

What disease can effect NKCC2?

A

Bartter’s syndrome

23
Q

What can inhibit NKCC2?

A

NKCC2 is selectively inhibited by ‘loop diuretics’ bumetanide and frusemide

24
Q

How does the early and late distal tubule differ in the reabsorption of Na+?

A

Early distal tubule has transport function similar to the TAL of the Loop of Henle
Late distal tubule has transport function similar to the collecting duct

25
Q

What % of Na+ reabsorption does the DT do?

A

5%

26
Q

What Na+ transporter found in the early distal tubule?

A

Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCCT)

27
Q

What Na+ transporter found in the late distal tubule and collecting duct?

A

Na+ channels (ENaC)

28
Q

Describe Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC)

A

Found apical membrane of early DT
Na+ and Cl- both required to function
60% molecular similarity to NKCC2

29
Q

What can inhibit NCC?

A

Thiazide diuretics

30
Q

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Cells of the Thin and Thick Ascending Loops of Henle reabsorb 30% of the filtered Na+.
B. The Na+-Cl- cotransporter is the main transport protein that secretes NaCl by the Thin/Thick Ascending Limbs.
C. The Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter is inhibited by thiazide diuretics.
D. The cells of the Distal Tubule reabsorb 5% of the filtered Na+.

A

D. The cells of the Distal Tubule reabsorb 5% of the filtered Na+.

31
Q

Where do we have the fine tuning of Na+?

A

The collecting ducts

32
Q

What % of Na+ reabsorption does the collecting ducts do?

A

2.5%

33
Q

What route does Na+ take in tight absorptive epithelia?

A

Transcellular - not paracellular

34
Q

What Na+ transporter is found in the CD?

A

Apical Epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC)

35
Q

What drug can inhibit/block ENaC?

A

Amiloride

36
Q

In areas of Na+ reabsorption, what Na+ transporter is found in the basolateral membrane?

A

Na+/K+ ATPase

37
Q

What is ENaC regulated by?

A

Aldosterone

38
Q

What is the composition of ENaC?

A

Composed of 3 subunits (1a : 1b : 1g)
* each subunit - 2 transmembrane domains
* each subunit has a large extracellular loop
* PY motif (PPPXY) – proline (P) and tyrosine (Y) is important in protein-protein interactions

39
Q

What are some molecular defects/diseases of ENaC?

A

Liddle`s syndrome
Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type I

40
Q

What is Liddle’s syndrome?

A

A gain of function due to mutations of COOH- termini of b and g subunits of ENaC
– Too many ENaC channels

41
Q

What is Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type I?

A

A loss of function due to a mutation of the NH2- terminus of the a subunit of ENaC
– Too few ENaC channels
