Abstract
The hyperbicarbonatemia of chronic respiratory acidosis might be maintained by a reduction in filtration rate or an enhancement of tubular bicarbonate reabsorption. To investigate this question, 12 Munich-Wistar rats were exposed to a 10% CO2 atmosphere for 6-8 d. Chronic respiratory acidosis developed, with arterial pH 7.30 +/- 0.01, partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) 80 +/- 2 mmHg, and total CO2 concentration 45 +/- 1 mM. Single nephron glomerular filtration rate was normal (42 +/- 1 nl/min). Chronic hypercapnia caused absolute proximal reabsorption to be significantly stimulated (1,449 +/- 26 pmol/min) as compared with reabsorption previously observed in normal animals (1,075 +/- 74 pmol/min) or in animals subjected to acute hypercapnia (1,200 +/- 59 pmol/min). This is the first demonstration that proximal bicarbonate reabsorption can be stimulated above normal euvolemic values. When eight animals were subsequently allowed to return toward a normocapnic state (arterial pCO2 46 +/- 1 mmHg) over the course of 1-1.5 h, bicarbonate reabsorption was still significantly higher (1,211 +/- 34 pmol/min) than in similarly alkalotic, normocapnic control groups (994 +/- 45 pmol/min). In conclusion, chronic, but not acute, hypercapnia stimulates absolute proximal bicarbonate reabsorption to exceed the level found in normal euvolemic rats.

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.
