(18) Simultaneous imposition of the pH gradient (outward OH- gradient) and inward Na+ gradient stimulated PAH uptake significantly over that with an Na+ gradient alone.
(19) Using PAH as a marker for the maximal extractable perfusion flow, 1-naphthol could be regarded as a high-extraction compound even at high perfusion flow rates.
