Proximal fluid reabsorption (Jprox) versus single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) before and during Na-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) blockade (n = 135 tubular fluid collections). Data were combined from rats fed high-NaCl and low-NaCl diets. The exponential curve, Jprox = 5.08 + 0.00099 × SNGFR2.36733 was a logistical fit to the raw data. The effect of SNGFR accounted for 75% of the total variance in Jprox. The effect of SGLT2 blockade accounted for 70% of the remaining variance in Jprox after controlling for SNGFR. The bar graph shows mean ± SE values for proximal reabsorption before and during SGLT2 blockade where Jprox′ is the value obtained for proximal reabsorption after adjusting for SNGFR.
