1. Anaerobic formation of lactate from glucose by isolated perfused rat kidney (411μmol/h per g dry wt.) was three times as fast as in aerobic conditions (138μmol/h per g). 2. In aerobic or in anaerobic conditions, the ratio of lactate production to glucose utilization was about 2. 3. Starvation or acidosis caused a decline of about 30% in the rate of aerobic glycolysis. 4. The rate of formation of glucose from lactate by perfused kidney from a well-fed rat, in the presence of 5mm-acetoacetate (83μmol/h per g dry wt.), was of the same order as the rate of aerobic glycolysis. 5. During perfusion with physiological concentrations of glucose (5mm) and lactate (2mm) there were negligible changes in the concentration of either substrate. 6. Comparison of kidneys perfused with lactate, from well-fed or starved rats, showed no major differences in contents of intermediates of gluconeogenesis. 7. The tissue concentrations of hexose monophosphates and C3 phosphorylated glycolytic intermediates (except triose phosphate) were decreased in anaerobic conditions. 8. Aerobic metabolism of fructose by perfused kidney was rapid: the rate of glucose formation was 726μmol/h per g dry wt. and of lactate formation 168μmol/h per g (dry wt.). Glycerol and d-glyceraldehyde were also released into the medium. 9. Aerobically, fructose generated high concentrations of glycolytic intermediates. 10. Anaerobic production of lactate from fructose (74μmol/h per g dry wt.) was slower than the aerobic rate. 11. In both anaerobic and aerobic conditions the ratio [lactate]/[pyruvate] in kidney or medium was lower during perfusion with fructose than with glucose. 12. These results are discussed in terms of the regulation of renal carbohydrate metabolism.

1. The regulatory effects that adenine nucleotides are known to exert on enzymes of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were demonstrated to operate in kidney-cortex slices and in the isolated perfused rat kidney by the addition of exogenous ATP, ADP and AMP to the incubation or perfusion media. 2. Both preparations rapidly converted added ATP into ADP and AMP, and ADP into AMP; added AMP was rapidly dephosphorylated. AMP formed from ATP was dephosphorylated at a lower rate than was added AMP, especially when the initial ATP concentration was high (10mm). Deamination of added AMP occurred more slowly than dephosphorylation of AMP. 3. Gluconeogenesis from lactate or propionate by rat kidney-cortex slices, and from lactate by the isolated perfused rat kidney, was inhibited by the addition of adenine nucleotides to the incubation or perfusion media. In contrast, oxygen consumption and the utilization of propionate or lactate by slices were not significantly affected by added ATP or AMP. 4. The extent and rapidity of onset of the inhibition of renal gluconeogenesis were proportional to the AMP concentration in the medium and the tissue, and were not due to the production of acid or Pi or the formation of complexes with Mg2+ ions. 5. Glucose uptake by kidney-cortex slices was stimulated 30–50% by added ATP, but the extra glucose removed was not oxidized to carbon dioxide and did not all appear as lactate. Glucose uptake, but not lactate production, by the isolated perfused kidney was also stimulated by the addition of ATP or AMP. 6. In the presence of either glucose or lactate, ATP and AMP greatly increased the concentrations of C3 phosphorylated intermediates and fructose 1,6-diphosphate in the kidney. There was a simultaneous rise in the concentration of malate and fall in the concentration of α-oxoglutarate. 7. The effects of added adenine nucleotides on renal carbohydrate metabolism seem to be mainly due to an increased concentration of intracellular AMP, which inhibits fructose diphosphatase and deinhibits phosphofructokinase. This conclusion is supported by the accumulation of intermediates of the glycolytic pathway between fructose diphosphate and pyruvate. 8. ATP or ADP (10mm) added to the medium perfusing an isolated rat kidney temporarily increased the renal vascular resistance, greatly diminishing the flow rate of perfusion medium for a period of several minutes.

ABSTRACT The isolated perfused rat kidney was used to study the effects of amino-terminal fragments of human parathyroid hormone, hPTH(1–34), bovine parathyroid hormone, bPTH(1–84) and of PTH-related proteins, PTHrP(1–34), PTHrP(1–84), PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) on urinary bicarbonate excretion. PTHrP(1–34) (7 nmol/l), bPTH(1–84) (5·5 nmol/l) and hPTH(1–34) (7 nmol/l) had similar effects in increasing bicarbonate excretion with respect to the control. At lower concentrations (0·7 nmol/l) all PTHrP components, but not hPTH(1–34) or bPTH(1–84) increased bicarbonate excretion significantly. Infusions of PTHrP(1–108) and PTHrP(1–141) at 0·7 nmol/l, while associated with a rise in urinary bicarbonate concentration and excretion during the early stages of perfusion, produced a sharp decline in bicarbonate concentration and excretion in the latter part of perfusion. The different peptides produced no significant differences in glomerular filtration rate, fractional excretion of sodium or urine volume. The absence of substantial differences between the effects of hPTH(1–34) and PTHrP(1–34) are as noted in previous studies. The differences between PTHrP(1–108)/PTHrP(1–141) and PTHrP(1–34) demonstrated here are consistent with (1) the clinical manifestations of acidosis in hyperparathyroidism and alkalosis in humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy, and (2) an independent action of a component of PTHrP beyond amino acids 1–34.
