* Small proteins and peptide hormones are reabsorbed by endocytosis
* Small proteins and peptide hormones are reabsorbed by endocytosis
* Other substances are secreted or reabsorbed in the tubules passively by '''[[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Facilitated Diffusion |facilitated]]''', none facilitated [[Diffusion - Physiology| '''diffusion''']] or [[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Diffusion Through Water Filled Protein Channels |'''ion channels''']] down chemical or electrical gradients.
