BACKGROUND: Permeability properties of mammalian nephron are tuned during postnatal maturation. The transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and complexity of tight junctions (TJs) vary along the different tubular segments, suggesting that the molecules constituting this structure change. We studied the differential expression of occludin...

Nifedipine-activated Ca 2ϩ permeability in newborn rat cortical collecting duct cells in primary culture. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 280: C1193-C1203, 2001.-To characterize Ca 2ϩ transport in newborn rat cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells, we used nifedipine, which in adult rat distal tubules inhibits the intracellular Ca 2ϩ concentration ([Ca...
