The transport ofd-glucose by brush border membranes isolated from the rabbit renal cortex was studied. At concentrations less than 2 mM, the rate ofd-glucose uptake increased linearly with the concentration of the sugar. No evidence was found for a “high-affinity” (μM) saturable site. Saturation was indicated at concentrations ofd-glucose greater than 5 mM. The uptake ofd-glucose was stereospecific and selectively inhibited byd-galactose and other sugars. Phlorizin inhibited the uptake ofd-glucose in the presence and absence of Na+. The glycoside was a potent inhibitor of the efflux ofd-glucose. Preloading the brush border membrane vesicles withd-glucose, but not withl-glucose, accelerated exchange diffusion ofd-glucose. These results demonstrate that the uptake ofd-glucose by renal brush borders represents transport into an intravesicular space rather than solely binding. The rate ofd-glucose uptake was increased when the Na+in the extravesicular medium was high and the membranes were preloaded with a Na+-free medium. The rate ofd-glucose uptake was inhibited by preloading the brush border membranes with Na+. These results are consistent with the Na+gradient hypothesis ford-glucose transport in the kidney. Thus, the presence of a Na+-dependent facilitated transport ofd-glucose in isolated renal brush border membranes is indicated. This finding is consistent with what is known of the transport of the sugar in more physiologically intact preparations and suggests that the membranes serve as an effective model system in examining the mechanism ofd-glucose transport in the kidney.
