Abstract
Sera from chronically uremic and normal individuals were subjected to gel filtration with Sephadex G-25 and the same fraction of both was infused into rats with a decreased nephron population to determine the effects on sodium excretion. Sodium excretion rate and fractional sodium excretion increased slightly with the normal fractions; but the increase in both functional parameters produced by the uremic fractions was substantially and significantly greater. The natriuresis could not be explained by associated changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), para-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance, filtration fraction, hematocrit, or blood pressure. The possibility thus exists that the inhibitor affected some component part of the transepithelial sodium transport system. The elution characteristics of the fraction plus certain of its physicochemical properties suggest that the inhibitor of sodium reabsorption by the rat nephron may be identical with the inhibitor of PAH uptake by kidney slices and the inhibitor of transepithelial sodium transport by the frog skin and toad bladder previously found in the serum of chronically uremic patients.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
