| 11. | Use of carbenicillin can cause hypokalemia by promoting potassium loss at the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney.
|
| 12. | Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with peritubular capillary and proximal convoluted tubule.
|
| 13. | Inorganic fluoride inhibits adenylate cyclase activity required for antidiuretic hormone effect on the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney.
|
| 14. | The nephridia consists of an opening called nephrostome, a long convoluted tubule and another opening called the nephridiopore.
|
| 15. | Osmotic diuretics have their major effect in the proximal convoluted tubule and the descending limb of Henle's loop.
|
| 16. | This cell membrane protein participates in the control of ion homeostasis at the distal convoluted tubule portion of the nephron.
|
| 17. | GST-Pi is expressed in many human tissues, particularly in the biliary tree and renal distal convoluted tubules.
|
| 18. | Chlortalidone prevents reabsorption of sodium and chloride by inhibiting the Na + / Cl " symporter in the distal convoluted tubule.
|
| 19. | Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic which works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption at the beginning of the distal convoluted tubule ( DCT ).
|
| 20. | It is very probable that the renal tubular cells of the distal convoluted tubules are themselves sensitive to the pH of the plasma.
