Luminal addition of 20 mM NH+4 produced a rapid acidification of rabbit macula densa (MD) cells from 7.50 ± 0.06 to 6.91 ± 0.05 at an initial rate of 0.071 ± 0.008 pH unit/s. In the luminal presence of 5 µM bumetanide, 5 mM Ba2+ or both, the acidification rate was reduced by 57%, 35% and 93% of control levels.

The fluid load to the distal tubule is first sensed at the macula densa site via the entry of NaCl, through a Na, K, 2Cl co-transport mechanism. The next step is unclear, but there is recent evidence of an increased macula densa cell calcium concentration with a reduction in fluid load to the macula densa.
