Abstract
During exercise, the plasma urate levels and urinary excretion increase due to the enhanced purine degradation in skeletal muscle. Although urate transporter-1 (URAT1) is the main transporter responsible for the reabsorption of filtered urate, potential changes in its activity and expression during exercise have not been studied yet. Therefore, the effect of heavy muscle activity on renal URAT1 activity and expression was investigated in this study. Wistar rats were used in the study and the experimental design consisted of three groups: a control group, an exercise group where animals were exhausted once a day for 5 days, and a hyperuricemia group, which was induced by an uricase inhibitor, oxonic acid. URAT1 activity measurements were performed in isolated proximal tubule segments and expression of URAT1 mRNA and protein levels were determined by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses, respectively. Increased citrate synthase activity in soleus muscle of exercised animals proved the efficiency of our exercise protocol. Proteinuria, glucosuria, and hypoglycemia were observed only in exercised animals; however, plasma and urinary urate levels were found to be elevated in both exercising and hyperuricemia groups. Moreover, in both of the groups URAT1 transporter activity was found to be increased despite the significant decrease in URAT1 protein levels. Considering the similar changes of urate metabolism observed in both exercising and hyperuricemic rats, our results suggest that exercise-induced changes in URAT1 expression and activity depend on the increased urate concentration in plasma.

Abstract
Cytoresistance is the term used to describe the response of the proximal tubule cells to various stress inducers via cholesterol accumulation. However, the role of extensive exercise as a renal insult has not been examined. In this study, the effect of heavy muscle activity on proximal tubule cytoresistance was investigated. Results obtained from rats subjected to running a treadmill for five days were compared to those of controls. Extensive muscle activity-induced soleus citrate synthase and blood lactate elevation were associated with normal MAP, RBF, and GFR. Blood electrolytes and cholesterol levels remained unchanged, whereas the total and free cholesterol accumulations in the proximal tubule cells of the exercised group were higher than controls. Cholesterol-loaded tubules were more resistant (as proved by LDH release) to an ATP-depleted/calcium overloaded second stress. These data clearly demonstrate that heavy muscle activity induces cholesterol accumulation in the proximal tubules of kidney, without influencing ATP generation.

Abstract
Timed urine collections are difficult to use in clinical practice owing to inaccurate collections making calculations of the 24-h albumin or protein excretion questionable. One of our goals was to assess the 'correction' of urinary albumin and (or) protein excretion by dividing these by either the creatinine concentration or the term, (specific gravity-1)x100(1). The 24-h creatinine excretion can be estimated based on the patients' gender, age and weight. We studied the influence of physiological extremes of hydration and exercise, and protein and creatinine excretion in patients with or suspected kidney disorders. Specimens were collected from healthy volunteers every 4 h during one 24-h period. We assayed the collections individually to give us an assessment of the variability of the analytes with time, and then reassayed them after combining them to give a 24-h urine. For all volunteers, the mean intra-individual CVs based on the 4-h collections expressed in mg/24 h were 80.0% for albumin and 96.5% for total protein (P0.2). The CVs were reduced by dividing the albumin or protein concentration by the creatinine concentration or by the term, (SG-1)x100. This gave a CV for mg albumin/g creatinine of 52% (P<0.1 vs. albumin mg/g creatinine); mg protein/g creatinine of 39% (P<0.05 vs. mg protein/g creatinine); mg albumin/[(SG-1)x100] of 49% (P<0.1 vs. albumin)/[(SG-1)x100]; and mg protein/[(SG-1)x100] of 37% (P<0. 05 vs. mg protein)/[(SG-1)x100]. For the 68 subjects in the study, the strongest correlation was between the creatinine concentrations and the 24-h urine volume: r=0.786, P<0.001. The correlation of (SG-1)x100 vs. the 24-h urine volume was: r=0.606, P<0.001; for (SG-1)x100 and the creatinine concentration, the correlation was: r=0.666, P<0.001. Compared to the volunteers, the albumin and protein excretion in mg/24 h were more variable in the patients. The same was true if the albumin or protein concentrations were divided by the creatinine concentration or by (SG-1)x100. Protein and albumin concentrations were lower in dilute urines. Dividing the albumin or protein concentrations by the creatinine concentration reduced the number of false negative protein and albumin results. Dividing the albumin or protein values in mg/24 h by (SG-1)x100 eliminated fewer false negatives. Albumin concentrations increased significantly after vigorous exercise. The increase was almost eliminated when the albumin result was divided by the creatinine concentration suggesting that a decreased urine flow and not increased glomerular permeability causes an increase of post-exercise albuminuria. The same was true for proteinuria. A dipstick test plus an optical strip reader that can measure urine protein, albumin, and creatinine and calculate the appropriate ratios provides a better screening test for albuminuria or proteinuria than one measuring only albumin or protein.

Abstract
Strenuous exercise has been claimed to modify renal glomerular and tubular function, the relative involvement of the two sites being unknown. These changes may be assessed by the determination of plasma high and low molecular mass proteins. A group of 13 man performed five runs (100, 400, 800, 1,500, 3,000 m) at maximal speed. The excretion rates and renal clearances of creatinine, albumin (Alb), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) were determined before and after each run. The glomerular filtration rate remained stable during the shorter runs and declined by about 40% during the longer runs. The excretion rate for Alb rose from 10-fold above the basal value (6 micrograms.min-1) for the 100 m to 49-fold for the 800 m and then declined for distances up to 3,000 m. The beta 2-m and RBP had a lesser initial increase, 3.5-(rest 55 ng.min-1) and 7.6-(rest 116 ng.min-1) fold, respectively, for the 100 m run and thereafter showed a higher excretion rate than Alb for the 400 m and 800 m runs. The renal clearances of these high (Alb) and low molecular mass (beta 2-m and RBP) proteins followed the changes observed for excretion rates. There was a linear relationship (r2 = 0.996) between plasma lactate concentration and total protein excretion in the postexercise period when taking all five runs into consideration. Glomerular permeability was primarily affected by the 100-m run while the longer runs modified both the glomerular and the tubular sites. To conclude, the present study demonstrated a differential response of the kidney to strenuous exercise with respect to the intensity and duration of the events.

Abstract
Random urine samples were obtained from 16 healthy subjects (nine men and seven women) before and after a 100 Km hill walk for the estimation of total protein, albumin, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), retinol binding protein (RBP) and creatinine. The excretion of total protein, albumin and NAG (expressed in relation to creatinine excretion) increased significantly after the walk. The relative clearance of protein and albumin also increased. In four subjects serial measurements were made for 4 days and the excretion of albumin and NAG on the fourth day were similar to the pre-walk values. We conclude that proteinuria of prolonged exercise is at least partly due to reduced tubular reabsorption.

Abstract
In an effort to establish a reliable programme for the clinical monitoring of renal involvement in patients with type-I diabetes mellitus, we quantified the urinary excretion of immunoglobulin G (IgG), transferrin (Tf), albumin (Alb), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1MG), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and total protein in 130 dipstick negative children and young adults with type-I diabetes. Eighty-five sex- and age-matched healthy persons served as a control group for the definition of the upper reference limits (95th centiles; micrograms min-1 1.73 m2): transferrin 1.4; albumin 16.6; total protein 27.1; NAG: 2.0 mU min-1 1.73 m2. Sex-related differences were detected for IgG (men: 3.8; women: 1.7) and alpha 1 MG (men: 6.0; women: 4.0 micrograms min-1 1.73 m2). The urinary excretion of IgG, Tf, alpha 1MG, NAG, and total protein was significantly higher in subjects with diabetes when compared to healthy controls (p < 0.01). Furthermore, 20 patients (15%) showed an elevated excretion of tubular markers (alpha 1MG and NAG), and 3 patients (2%) of at least two glomerular markers (Alb and/or Tf and/or IgG). Additionally, 18 individuals (14%) presented a mixed excretion pattern of both tubular and glomerular markers. These data suggest that the quantitation of both glomerular and tubular proteinuria provides a sensitive and cost-effective instrument for the non-invasive screening for renal involvement in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Metabolic parameters and renal function were studied in two subjects before, during and after they established a world two-man 24 hour relay record. During the race, the athletes expended an estimated 37.747 and 42.880 kJ running at 54 and 61 per cent of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Rectal temperatures reached maxima of 38.6 and 39.2 degrees C respectively during the race. Serum free fatty acid levels peaked at 2108 and 1875 mumol ml-1 after 24 hours; blood glucose levels varied from 4.3-6.5 and 4.9-8.5 mmol.l-1 respectively. Plasma insulin levels fell from 42.9 and 22.7 microU.ml-1 to 11.5 microU.ml-1. Plasma urea, creatinine, beta 2-microglobulin and C-reactive protein concentrations were elevated at the end of the race (to 9.0 and 8.0 mmol.l-1, 119 and 102 mumol.l-1, 3.508 and 3203 micrograms.l-1 and 2.7 and 3.9 mg per cent respectively). Plasma osmolality was altered from 293 and 304 to 302 and 280 mosmol.Kg-1 during the race but increased to 312 and 318 mosmol.Kg-1 the following day probably due to intercompartmental fluid shifts. Plasma creatinine concentration was increased by 38 and 26 per cent due to reduced urinary excretion. Urine flow rate increased 40 and 123 per cent respectively during the race, but creatinine clearance decreased by 38 and 40 per cent. Urine osmolality decreased by 38 and 65 per cent and osmolal clearance decreased by 15 and 16 per cent respectively. Urine sodium excretion was greatly reduced (85 and 90 per cent) on the post-race days (by 88 and 92 per cent on day 2). Both urine total protein and beta2-microglobulin excretion increased during the race (by 89 and 35 per cent and by 334 and 136 per cent respectively), but owing to the increased beta2-microglobulin production renal clearance was unaltered. The changes in renal function were temporary and some aspects of renal tubular function were enhanced during the post-race days. We conclude that, although C-reactive protein concentrations increased sooner and were higher than other shorter events and although creatinine, urine excretion and urine osmolality decreased markedly, the intermittent nature of the event, the mild environmental conditions, the moderate percentage of VO2 max maintained by the well conditioned subjects and a high fluid intake enabled a rapid return to normality and indeed to enhanced renal tubular function. The only moderate increases in body temperature would be due to the same factors.

Abstract
Daily blood and 24-hour urine samples from 6 runners were studied for 2 days before and for 5 days after a 42.2 km. marathon footrace run in cool environmental conditions. Although the race caused muscle damage as shown by the increased post-race serum creatine kinase activity and C-reactive protein levels, renal function measured by urine flow rates, creatinine clearance and protein excretion was normal during the race. Sodium and fractional sodium excretion decreased during the race despite a maintained osmolar clearance, and remained low for the next 48 hours, whereas osmolar clearance decreased sharply for the remainder of the race day but it was significantly elevated on days 2 to 4 after the race. Creatinine clearance was increased significantly 24 hours after the race, and reached its peak 3 days after the race, while urine flow rates were elevated from days 2 to 5 after the race. Urea excretion was significantly decreased 3 to 5 days after the race, while creatinine excretion was increased significantly on day 3 after the race. Glomerular proteinuria occurred 24 hours after the race with no associated reduction in tubular reabsorption of the low molecular weight protein beta-2-microglobulin. This study shows previously unrecognized substantial delayed effects of prolonged exercise on renal function. The nature of these changes may reflect catabolic followed by anabolic processes in muscle as well as changes consequent on excess sodium retention and related fluid compartment shifts.

Abstract
Exercise induces profound changes in the renal haemodynamics and in electrolyte and protein excretion. Effective renal plasma flow is reduced during exercise. The reduction is related to the intensity of exercise and renal blood flow may fall to 25% of the resting value when strenuous work is performed. The combination of sympathetic nervous activity and the release of catecholamine substances is involved in this process. The reduction of renal blood flow during exercise produces a concomitant effect on the glomerular filtration rate, though the latter decreases relatively less than the former during exertion. However, the degree of hydration has an important influence on the glomerular filtration rate. An antidiuretic effect is observed during intense exercise. Changes in urine flow are dependent on the plasma antidiuretic hormone levels which are increased by intense exercise. Heavy exercise has an inhibitory effect on most electrolytes (Na, Cl, Ca, P). With potassium, however, most studies report that potassium excretion is not consistently affected by moderate to heavy exercise. Increased aldosterone production helps the body to maintain sodium by increasing its reabsorption from the filtered tubular fluid. Recent studies suggest that sympathetic stimulation may be involved during exercise. Strenuous work leads to an increased excretion of erythrocytes and leucocytes in urine. Cylindruria has been regularly found in postexercise urine in different sports. Postexercise proteinuria is a common phenomenon in humans. It seems to be directly related to the intensity of exercise, rather than to its duration. This excretion of proteins in urine is a transient state with a half-time of approximately 1 hour. Postexercise proteinuria has a pattern different from normal physiological proteinuria. Immunochemical techniques demonstrate that postexercise proteinuria is of the mixed glomerular-tubular type, the former being predominant. The increased clearance of plasma proteins suggests an increased glomerular permeability and a partial inhibition of tubular reabsorption of macromolecules. Haemoglobinuria and myoglobinuria may be observed under special exercise conditions. The degree of hydration appears to be important to reduce these abnormalities.

Abstract
Serum carbohydrate metabolism was analysed in control, control stimulated, denervation atrophied and denervation stimulated dogs, Canis domesticus. The muscular training has resulted in the hypoglycemia through the mobilization of glucose into both hexose mono- and diphosphate pathways. The denervation atrophy, on the contrary, resulted in hyperglycemia because of exactly opposite changes in the carbohydrate metabolism in the serum and also possibly due to the lack of uptake by the muscle. The training programme of electrical stimulation applied to this denervated muscle has wiped off the hyperglycemia. The importance of muscular work in modulating the serum carbohydrate metabolism was indicated.

Abstract
Urinary albumin and beta 2-microglobulin excretion rates were measured by radioimmunological methods in 60 children and adolescents at rest and during physical exercise. The geometric mean of the albumin excretion rate was 4.4 (microgram/min)/m2 at rest and rose to 7.9 (micrograms/min)/m2 during exercise (P less than 0.001), while the geometric mean of beta 2-microglobulin was 31.9 (ng/min)/m2 at rest and 26.2 (ng/min)/m2 during exercise. These results indicate that exercise-induced proteinuria is of a glomerular leaking type. The albumin excretion rate was not dependent on the age or sex of the subjects. The exercise-induced albuminuria correlated weakly but significantly with the maximal blood pressure (r = 0.27; P less than 0.05) and with the physical fitness of the subjects (r = 0.28; P less than 0.05).
