RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 STUDIES ON THE RENAL TUBULAR TRANSPORT OF TETRAETHYLAMMONIUM ION IN RENAL SLICES OF THE DOG JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 478 OP 487 VO 117 IS 4 A1 A. Farah A1 B. Rennick YR 1956 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/117/4/478.abstract AB The renal tubular transport mechanisms for PAH and TEA were compared and contrasted in renal slices of the dog. A number of factors such as time, pH of the buffer, ionic composition, substrates and inhibitors have been considered. The evidence indicates that these transport mechanisms are distinct and can be separated on the basis of their metabolic requirements. Thus the evidence indicates that the TEA transport mechanism can continue functioning after blocking the Krebs cycle by a number of inhibitors. It is thus likely that the TEA transport mechanism obtains its energy supply from a source other than the Krebs cycle.
