A nonlinear optimization technique, in conjunction with a single-nephron, single-solute mathematical model of the quail urine concentrating mechanism, was used to estimate parameter sets that optimize a measure of concentrating mechanism efficiency, viz., the ratio of the free-water absorption rate
Using an inner medullary shunt model of the kidney concentrating mechanism, we investigate the relationship between z-salt and urea concentrations in the Cent& Core, and h-water, salt and urea permeabilities in the He&e's loop and the Collecting Duct. Computational results are given comparing (a) th
