Methods Three-week-old littermates (Sprague-Dawley rats) were paired according to weight and sex, and were randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which received 1% lead acetate as a drinking solu-tion, or to a control group, which received tap water. Lead exposure was limited to the 6-week pe-riod corresponding to 3 to 9 weeks of age. All rats were allowed free acess to rat chow (Ralston Purina Co., New Jersey). Each pair was studied either at 12 or at 25 weeks of age.The rats were anesthetized with mactin®(10 mgI 100 g body wt, ip) and then were placed on a ther-mostatically controlled table. Polyethylene catheters (PE-50; Clay Adams Co.) were inserted into the right jugular vein for injection of lissamine green, the right femoral artery for blood sampling, and the right femoral vein for infusion of fluids. The bladder was exposed through a suprapubic incision. Two PE-50 catheters were positioned: one in the bladder, the other in the left ureter. The left kidney was prepared for micropuncture by a previously de-scribed method [34]. Isotonic saline in a volume equivalent to 0.5 ml! 100 g body wt was given immediately after surgical preparation of the animal, and a 0.9% saline solution containing 25 Ci! ml of 14C-inulin (New England Nuclear) was infused there-after at a rate of 0.5 mL'hr/lOO g body wt. Following a 45-mm equilibration period, two to three urine col-lections, each of 30 mm's duration, were obtained, and timed collections of proximal tubular fluid were performed. Blood samples were withdrawn, and measurements of arterial blood pressure were made at the midpoint of each period. These samples served for the measurements of GFR and single
