Sodium chloride coupled transport in mammalian nephrons.

A number of possible modes of coupling of sodium chloride transport have been considered, and their roles in the various parts of the renal tubule have been reviewed. Many modes of coupling have been found in various combinations in one or another of the segments. Of special interest are the observations of carrier coupling of sodium to chloride transport in some of the segments, such as the thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop.
