Glomerular flltration represents one of the basic mechanisms in the
function of an organism. Our understanding of this process is still
quite fragmentary. Regulation of blood flow and pressure, together
with regulation of the ultraflltration coefficient (which is an
attribute of the flltration barrier), are the two fundamental
mechanisms accounting for maintenance and adaptability of
glomerular flltration. Regulation of glomerular blood flow is...
