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.
