Abstract
Effects of cumene hydroperoxide were studied on the peritubular membrane potential and cellular cation composition in frog kidney proximal tubular cells. After perfusion of isolated frog kidneys for 30 min with 1.3x10(-4) mol l(-1) cumene hydroperoxide Ringer solution, the peritubular membrane potential gradually declined. The ouabain-like effects were demonstrated on cell Na and K activities after 1 h of perfusion with cumene hydroperoxide. The peritubular apparent transference number for potassium was decreased. Intracellular pH was not altered in the presence of cumene hydroperoxide. Intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration increased slowly and moderately. The concentration of the malondialdehyde in the kidney homogenates, measured as an index of lipid peroxidation, was increased. A previously observable effect of cumene hydroperoxide on the peritubular membrane potential was prevented by oxygen radical scavengers.
