GFR increased by 44, 218, 358 and 402%, respectively and renal hypertrophy (17, 21, 45, and 56% increase) was observed at these four different time courses, respectively. Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the diabetic cortex increased by 28, 40, 50 and 69%, respectively, while that in the medulla increased by 21, 45, 58 and 57%, respectively. On the other hand, Mg2+-ATPase activity failed to increase until 50 days after the onset of diabetes in both the cortex and medulla. The alterations in ATPase activity were specific, while for 5'-nucleotidase activity was not changed. The increase in Na+-K+-ATPase activity in the cortex and medulla closely paralleled the increase in GFR and renal hypertrophy over the experimental period from 3 to 100 days. Therefore, from early to long term diabetes, the renal hypertrophy and increased GFR were associated with the increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in renal tubules.diabetic mice; different time courses; glomerular filtration rate; renal Na+-K+-ATPase[SDGs]SDG35' nucleotidase; adenosine triphosphatase (magnesium); adenosine triphosphatase (potassium sodium); glucose; kidney enzyme; streptozocin; animal experiment; animal model; animal tissue; article; controlled study; enzyme activity; glomerulus filtration rate; glucose blood level; kidney cortex; kidney function; kidney hypertrophy; kidney medulla; male; mouse; nonhuman; streptozocin diabetesjournal article2-s2.0-0027245540
