Summary of open‐loop feedback studies determining effect of changes in end‐proximal flow rate (VLP) on single nephron filtration rate (SNGFR). Numbers refer to reference list.

Figure 2. Figure 2.

Nonlinear relationship between loop of Henle perfusion rate (VLP) and single nephron filtration rate (SNGFR) in a study in which multiple determinations of GFR were made in the same nephron.

From ref. 42
Figure 3. Figure 3.

Schematic diagram illustrating definitions used to describe characteristics of tubuloglomerular feedback response.

Figure 4. Figure 4.

Results from retrograde perfusion studies showing relationship between perfusate NaCl concentration and early proximal flow rate (VEP). Equation derived from data in ref. 252. Superimposed data indicate measurements of stop‐flow pressure (PSF) changes in response to retrograde perfusion [triangles, refs. 14,15; open circles, ref. 268; closed circles, ref. 266]. Numerical identity of VEP and PSF changes is accidental.

Figure 5. Figure 5.

Summary of open‐loop feedback studies determining effect of changes in loop perfusion rate (VLP) on stop‐flow pressure (PSF). Source of results is indicated by numbers from reference list.

Figure 6. Figure 6.

Schematic diagram showing direct relationship between SNGFR and the TGF signal (solid line in center diagram) and inverse relationship between TGF signal and SNGFR (broken line in center diagram). Alterations in resistance can be achieved by modifications in transport altering the relationship between SNGFR and TGF signal (dashed lines in right‐hand insert; note that convention of plotting the dependent variable on the ordinate is not followed), by modifications in effect of TGF signal on SNGFR (dashed lines in left‐hand insert), or by perturbations extrinsic to feedback system.

Figure 7. Figure 7.

Effect of loop perfusion rate on pressure dependency of SNGFR or stop‐flow pressure. Left‐hand diagram shows effect of arterial pressure on SNGFR without loop perfusion (SNGFRprox, loop perfusion rate 0 nl/min), during loop perfusion at 40 nl/min, and on distal SNGFR. Right‐hand diagram shows measurements of stop‐flow pressure performed under similar conditions.
