Abstract

Biochemical reactions that provide the process of urine secretion and excretion are well studied, and they are based on the energy-dependent transmembrane movement of molecules on both sides of the nephron. This unique machine is designed in such a way that not only the physiological processes of its activity, but also pathological destructive reactions require the use of biological energy carriers. So a fast source of energy is a glucose molecule built into the membrane ATP-ASE, the long-term carrier of energy potential are lipids, or rather membrane phospholipids containing a molecule of choline. These energy "swings" are the essence of the entropy of living matter [1-6].
