Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In which part of the nephron is the glucose concentration of the filtrate reduced? Proximal convoluted tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal convoluted tubule avidly reabsorbs filtered glucose into the peritubular capillaries so that it is all reabsorbed by the end of the proximal tubule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Renal proximal tubules reabsorb glucose from the glomerular filtrate and release it back into the circulation. Modulation of glomerular filtration and renal glucose disposal are some of the insulin actions, but little is known about a possible insulin effect on tubular glucose reabsorption.
