In rat terminal inner medullary collecting duct (tIMCD), the Na,K-ATPase mediates NH uptake, which increases secretion of net H(+) equivalents. K(+) and compete for a common binding site on Na,K-ATPase. Therefore, uptake should increase during hypokalemia because interstitial concentration is reduced. We asked whether upregulation also basolateral uptake. To induce hypokalemia, rats ate diet with low content. tIMCD tubules from given 3 days dietary restriction, beta(1)-subunit (NK-beta(1))...
