Abstract
1. Renal handling of pig- and rat-insulin was studied in the isolated perfused rat kidney. 2. Metabolic clearance rates of both pig- and rat-insulin exceeded GFR. 3. Peritubular uptake of pig-insulin accounted for 13% of rat-insulin for 31% of the total metabolic clearance. 4. The nonfiltering kidney does not remove insulin from the peritubular circulation. 5. Metabolic clearance rates of pig- and rat-insulin are directly related to GFR. 6. The filtration process seems to be necessary for the uptake of insulin at the peritubular site.Entities:
