Functional parameters of isolated perfused rat kidneys in control rats (no additional treatment) and after exposure to LPS or LPS+ for 12 h

Parameter Controls (n = 4) LPS (n = 4) LPS+ (n = 6)
GFR (μl/min) 350 ± 25 380 ± 17 290 ± 20a
Diuresis (μl/min) 18.6 ± 1.8 21.1 ± 1.3 17.4 ± 1.0
FRwater (%) 94.7 ± 0.2 94.5 ± 0.3 92.7 ± 0.6a
RPP (mmHg)b 88.4 ± 1.5 84.5 ± 1.7 88.7 ± 1.0

Data are expressed as mean ± SE of four to six perfused kidney experiments over the period 25-115 min. Untreated rats served as controls for this model. Kidneys were perfused for 150 min as described in the “Materials and methods” section

aSignificantly different from perfused control kidney (P < 0.05)

bConstant flow during the experiments was 18 ± 0.5 ml/min

FR fractional reabsorption, RPP renal perfusion pressure
