## Abstract We have assessed the impact of increasing oxygen availability on cellular phenotype expression of rabbit proximal tubule cells in primary culture developed with variable glucose and/or insulin contents. To mitigate hypoxia at the cell/medium interface, cells were shaken for the whole cu
The effect of estradiol-17beta-BSA (E(2)-BSA) on Ca(2+) uptake and its related signal pathways were examined in the primary cultured rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. E(2)-BSA (10(-9) M) significantly stimulated Ca(2+) uptake from 2 h by 13% and at 8 h by 35% as compared to control, respectively.
Among kidney tubular epithelial cell types, proximal tubule cells are one of the major renal targets for xenobiotics. Several in vitro culture models have been proposed for use of proximal tubule cells for in vitro pharmacotoxicology studies. This paper reports a comparative study of the response to
