## Background: Sorbitol plays an important role in renal osmoregulation. in the rat renal inner medulla sorbitol synthesis and sorbitol degradation are located in different cell types. whereas sorbitol synthesis can be detected in the inner medullary collecting duct cells, sorbitol degradation take
Glycerophosphorylcholine (GPC) plays an important role in the osmoregulation of the renal inner medulla. Under hyperosmotic conditions, a striking increase in cellular GPC content is observed. In order to characterize the cellular events involved in GPC metabolism, we have studied the uptake of chol
Reactive oxygen metabolites have been implicated in the pathogenesis of toxic, ischaemic and immunologically mediated renal injury. An increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) has been proposed as a mechanism of oxidative stress-induced cell injury. We used a fluorescence spectrom
