In this study, renal membrane vesicles were isolated from control Sprague Dawley rats, and those treated with DEM DEM+BSO, DEM+Cr and DEM+BSO+Cr. GSH depletors were given 45 min before Cr and the rats sacrificed 3 hr later. Renal GSH was measured and membrane vesicles isolated by Percoll gradient centrifugation. GSH depletion by DEM alone had no effect on BL PAH transport or BB glucose transport. PAH overshoot was absent when Cr was given after DEM, as was true when Cr was given alone, and glucose transport was reduced modestly. GSH depletion by DEM+BSO did not markedly alter either PAH or glucose transport. When Cr was administered after DEM+BSO, the PAH overshoot was eliminated completely, and a reduced glucose transport was seen compared to Cr-DEM and Cr alone. These data suggest that the greater GSH depletion with DEM+BSO permitted an effect of Cr not seen in controls or DEM treated rats.
