In models of diabetes, distal nephron cells contribute to glucose uptake and oxidation. How these cells contribute to the use of glucose for the regulation of H(+) extrusion remains unknown. We used Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells to investigate the effect of acute or chronic high glucose concentration on the abundance and activity of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE-1).
