Methods Fourteen young male and female Munich-Wistar rats each weighing between 70 and 110 g, were used in this study. The animals were fed a commercial potassium-deficient diet (ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio; catalog no. 904665) for3 days prior to the day of the study. On the day of the experiment, the animals were anesthetized with mactin (100 mg/kg of body wt)(Henly and Company, New York, New York) and prepared for micropuncture of the left renal papilla as previously described [31. Urine from the right unexposed kid-ney was collected through a bladder catheter. The animals received a continuous infusion of 0.9% saline (0.93 ml/min) containing inulin in sufficient quantity to maintain plasma levels at 60 to 100 mg/dl. After a control collection of urine, tubule fluid was collected for 2 to 6 mm near the end of the juxtamedullary descending limb with pipettes having a tip diameter of 5 to 7 microns [3]. Then the infusion was changed, according to which the animals were divided into two groups: Group I. Eight rats received the infusion of inulin and saline which, in addition, contained potassium chloride, infused at a rate of 3.75 mEq min. kg body wr'. Thereafter, samples of end-descending limb fluid and urine were obtained for the next 120 to 160 mm. Our goal was to try to collect paired descending limb fluid and urinary samples at 20 mm intervals. For technical reasons, it was impossible to locate and puncture a loop and collect uninterruptedly sufficient tubule fluid for analyses pre-cisely each 20 mm. But, three-fourths of the 1oop of Henle samples were obtained at intervals of 20 5 (range) mm, or multiples thereof, after the infusion of potassium chloride was
