[Para-aminohippuric acid secretion by the vertebrate kidney].

Abstract

Tubular secretory capacity has been investigated in the kidney of marine fishes Scorpaena porcus, Spicara smaris, frog Rana ridibunda and albino rat by determination of maximal transport of p-aminohippurate--TmPAH, Following values of Tmax expressed in mg/hour per 100 g of body weight were obtained: 0.73 +/- 0.17 for S. porcus, 0.92 +/- 0.09 for S. smaris, 0.93 +/- 0.10 for R. ridibunda and 15.6 +/- 1.6 for rats.
