Study Notes
Mechanisms for Changing Oxygen Consumption per Work Performed
- Dissociating glomerular filtration rate from renal blood flow is a mechanism to change the amount of oxygen consumed per work performed.
- Altering the amount of oxygen consumed per sodium reabsorbed is another mechanism to modify oxygen consumption.
- Shifting transport between tubular segments that make more or less use of passive reabsorption is a mechanism to change oxygen consumption.
- Altering back-leak permeability of the tubule is a way to modify oxygen consumption.
- Changing the coupling ratio of adenosine triphosphate generated to oxygen consumed by mitochondria is a mechanism to change oxygen consumption per work performed.
