Effect of prenatal low-protein diet and prenatal dexamethasone (PD) on mTAL transepithelial potential difference. Transepithelial potential difference was assessed in tubules using the perfusion pipette as the bridge in the tubular lumen and comparing the potential to the bathing solution. The potential difference was higher in the groups from rats in the prenatal dexamethasone and prenatal low-protein group compared with the control group. *P < 0.05 vs. Control.
