Fig. 4. Unidirectional secretory, unidirectional reabsorptive, and net urate fluxes
by chick PTCs following treatment with methotrexate (500 µmol
l1) or MK571 (20 µmol l1). Methotrexate
(at t=0.5 h) and MK571 (at t=0) were added to the
interstitial or luminal sides of the epithelium. Data are presented as the
percentage of the paired control secretory flux and are means ±
S.E.M. of five preparations. *Significantly different
from paired control flux (P<0.05, paired t-test).
