| Abstract | Previously it has been shown that the Na+2Cl–K+ cotransporter accepts NH4 + at its K+ binding site. This property can be used to estimate its transport rates by adding NH4 + to the bath and measuring the initial furosemide-dependent rates of change in BCECF fluorescence. We have utilized this technique to determine the regulation of the furosemide-inhibitable Na+2Cl–K+ cotransporter in in vitroperfused rectal gland tubules (RGT) of Squalus acanthias. Addition of NH4 + to the bath (20 mmol/l) led to an initial alkalinization, corresponding to NH3 uptake. This was followed by an acidification, corresponding to NH4 + uptake. The rate of this uptake was quantified by exponential curve fitting and is given in arbitrary units (Δfluorescence/time). This acidification could be completely inhibited by furosemide. In the absence of any secretagogue preincubation of RGT in a low Cl– solution (6 mmol/l, low Cl–) for 10 min enhanced the uptake rate significantly from 4.04±0.51 to 12.7±1.30 (n=5). The addition of urea (200 mmol/l) was without effect, but the addition of 300 mmol/l mannitol (+300 mannitol) enhanced the rate significantly from 7.24±1.33 to 14.7±4.6 (n=6). Stimulation of NaCl secretion by a solution maximizing the cytosolic cAMP concentration (Stim) led to a significant increase in NH4 + uptake rate from 5.00±1.33 to 13.3±1.54 (n=6). Similar results were obtained in the additional presence of Ba2+ (1 mmol/l): the uptake rate was increased significantly from 4.23±0.34 to 15.1±1.86 (n=16). In the presence of Stim low Cl– had no additional effect on the uptake rate: 15.1±3.1 versus 15.2±2.8 in high Cl– (n=6). The uptake rate in Stim containing additional +300 mannitol (22.3±4.0, n=5) was not significantly different from that obtained with Stim or +300 mannitol alone. By whatever mechanism the NH4 + uptake rate was increased furosemide (500 µmol/l) always reduced this rate to control values. Hence three manoeuvres enhanced furosemide-inhibitable uptake rates of the Na+2Cl–K+ cotransporter probably independently: (1) lowering of cytosolic Cl– concentration; (2) cell shrinkage; and (3) activation by cAMP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
