Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 24RQ
Graphing question: You are given a chemical Z and told to determine how it is handled by the kidneys of a mouse. After a series of experiments, you determine that (a) Z is freely filtered; (b) Z is not reabsorbed; (c) Z is actively secreted; and (d) the renal threshold for Z secretion is a plasma concentration of 80 mg/mL plasma, and the transport maximum is 40 mg/min. The mouse GFR is 1 mL/min. On a graph similar to the one in question 22, show how filtration, secretion, and excretion are related. One axis will be plasma concentration of Z (mg/mL) with a range of 0–140, and the other axis will show rates of kidney processes (mg/min) with a range of 0–140.

A 28-year-old man has a fasting serum glucose concentration of 140 mg/dL and a glomerular filtration rate of 125 ml/min. The renal transport maximum for glucose in this patient is 300 mg/min. Which of the following best represents the rate of urinary glucose excretion (in mg/min) in this man?
(A) 0
(B) 100

Please correct my answer from homework
In the reabsorption of glucose molecules, the apical membrane of tubular cells characteristically demonstrate . . .
choose from following:
(A) Na+/K+ active transport pumps (incorrect)
(B) glucose / sodium ion secondary active transport channels
(C) glucose antiport channels
(D) facilitated diffusion protein channels
(E) Na+ / K+ antiport channels
The Na+-glucose transporters SGLT2 and SGLT1 are located at different levels of the kidney proximal tubule to minimize spillover of the glucose into the urine (See diagram attached)
a) Consider the Na+-glucose coupling ratios for SGLT2 and SGLT1. Why would localization of SGLT2 in the early proximal tubule and SGLT1 in the late proximal tubule be advantageous?
b) The Michaelis constant (Km) for the SGLT2 and SGLT1 transporters are 2 mM and 0.5 mM, respectively. Is SGLT2 or SGLT1 the higher affinity Na+-glucose transporter?
d) Dapagliflozin is an SGLT1 inhibitor and commonly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes. Why would this be of benefit to a diabetes patient?
