Blood perfusion of the kidney of Lophius piscatorius L.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Summary
Kidneys of Lophius piscatorius L., perfused with heparinized blood, respond to a high tension of CO2 in the blood by a drop in urine flow and in their capacity for concentrating Mg. At the same time, but independently, CO2 reduces the blood flow. Both cyanide and fluoride may stop or reduce water secretion and Mg concentration, according to the concentration used, showing that both these activities are dependent on aerobic processes and presumably on the integrity of the carbohydrate cycle.
