Hepatorenal reflex regulating kidney function
Florian Lang, Edda Tschernko, Eva Schulze, Irina Öttl, Markus Ritter, Harald Völkl, Christian Hallbrucker, Dieter Häussinger – 1 October 1991 – In anesthetized male rats, infusion of glutamine (2 μmol/min) into the superior mesenteric vein at a rate known to induce liver cell swelling leads to marked decreases in renal glomerular filtration rate, renal para‐aminohippurate clearance and urinary flow rate. Glutamine infused at identical rates into the jugular vein does not elicit any of these effects. The effect of glutamine is mimicked by serine but not by glutamate.
