Key Event Relationship Description
The sodium/potassium (Na/K) ATPase consumes ATP to build up a sodium gradient that is the driving force for most of the proximal tubular reabsorption operated by secondary active transporters exchanging sodium for glucose, amino acids, phosphate or other ions (Jørgensen, 1986). When the ATP supply is reduced in the cell, the Na/K ATPase cannot function properly, and subsequent secondary active transports are reduced.
Evidence Collection Strategy
Evidence Supporting this KER
Biological Plausibility
The dependence of proximal tubule reabsorption on the sodium gradient built by the Na/K ATPase is one of the key aspects of proximal tubular physiology (Jørgensen, 1986; Schafer, Troutman, Watkins, & Andreoli, 1981).
Empirical Evidence
Inhibition of the Na/K ATPase activity by addition of the inhibitor ouabain causes a reduction in apical to basolateral net volume reabsorption in isolated rabbit renal cortex tubule segments (Schafer et al., 1981).
