Abstract

Amino acids freely penetrate the glomerular membrane and are intensively reabsorbed in the tubules. Under normal conditions tubular reabsorption of amino acids is 95–100% of the filtered load. Micropuncture studies show that tubular amino acid reabsorption takes place in the proximal tubule. Transtubular amino acid transport is active, the details of which still require investigation.
