These studies demonstrate that RI Ang II, an AT2R ligand, does not induce a natriuresis in the presence of systemic AT1R blockade. However, a natriuretic response to Ang II, mediated by the AT2R, is unmasked by the intrarenal addition of PC-18, an APN inhibitor. Because the metabolism of Ang III to Ang IV by APN is inhibited by PC-18, these data suggest that Ang III is a significant mediator of Ang II-induced natriuresis. This conclusion is further supported by the ability of APA inhibition to abolish the natriuretic response to Ang II+PC-18.. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that in the presence of AT1R blockade, RI Ang III infusion results in natriuresis that is abolished by concomitant PD infusion, implicating the renal AT2R in the response.21 Furthermore, addition of RI PC-18 to Ang III infusion causes a 1.8- to 2.8-fold increase in Na+ excretion compared with RI Ang III infusion alone.22 These findings prompted the present set of investigations to determine whether renal ...

In the present study, Hoe140 reduced renal PBF at high RPP and improved PBF autoregulation, without any effects on the renal cortical circulation. This is consistent with previous reports showing that other B2 antagonists lowered PBF.7 The source of renal medullary kinins is unknown, because most of the renal kallikrein is produced in the connecting tubule, within the renal cortex.1 The effects of Hoe140 on PBF are compatible with a vascular source from which kinins can reach the renal interstitial fluid, where bradykinin is present.17 18 Interestingly, kinins can be synthesized and released by endothelial cells and mediate part of the endothelial shear stress-induced changes in blood flow.11 12 It has been previously reported that NO synthesis blockade abolishes the pressure-induced increases in medullary blood flow, and it has been hypothesized that as arterial pressure rises, endothelial shear stress increases in the preglomerular vasculature, releasing NO and originating the intrarenal ...

1. Isolated rat kidneys were perfused at a constant perfusion pressure of 90 mmHg to study the natriuretic effects of atriopeptin III (AP-III) and to compare these effects with those of frusemide. AP-III (1 μg) or frusemide (1 mg) were added to the perfusate (100 ml) after two 15 min control collection periods.. 2. Compared with the control group, AP-III and frusemide increased urinary sodium excretion (UNaV, 5.6 ± 1.1 and 4.6 ± 0.6 vs control 1.8 ± 0.3 μmol min−1 g−1, mean ± sem, P , 0.01 and P , 0.05, respectively), fractional sodium excretion (FENa, 4.8 ± 1.1 and 6.7 ± 0.8 vs control 2.0 ± 0.2%, P , 0.05 and P , 0.001, respectively) and potassium excretion (UKV, 3.2 ± 0.3 and 3.0 ± 0.3 vs control 1.5 ± 0.3 μmol min−1 g−1, both P , 0.01). However, AP-III, but not frusemide, increased glomerular filtration rate (820 ± 55 vs 590 ± 24 μl min−1 g−1, P , 0.01) and urine flow rate (V 97.5 ± 8.0 vs 44.1 ± 5.2 μl min−1 g−1, P , 0.001).

RI cGMP is an important modulating factor in P-N. Studies from our laboratory have suggested that RI cGMP acts through a mechanism that is independent of changes in renal hemodynamics and involves protein kinase G.3,15 In vitro studies in human RPT cells and in vivo studies in rats demonstrate that the production of cGMP by sGC and its export into the extracellular compartment through a PB-sensitive organic anion transporter are critical mechanisms for natriuretic responses to increased RPP.4,5,15. RIHP is another modulating factor of P-N. Increases in RPP lead to increases in RIHP, and the subsequent natriuresis is abolished by renal decapsulation.7 Increases in RIHP made by RI volume expansion lead to increases in natriuresis.6,16 Our studies address the relationship between these 2 important modulating factors of the P-N relationship.. The major findings of the present studies are described here. First, decreasing RIHP by renal decapsulation prevents the rise in RI cGMP levels and UNaV in ...

Mapping studies have identified many QTLs affecting BP in genetically hypertensive rats, and their isolation in congenic strains has been the main approach used for their further characterization (20). Apart from genetic analysis, congenic strains provide a powerful tool for identifying relevant intermediary phenotypes, since they only differ from control (parental) strains for a small fraction of the genome. Thus any differences seen are more likely to be involved in the physiological pathway(s) that regulates the trait of interest. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the rat chromosome 1 BP QTL region also influences pressure-natriuresis relationship, salt sensitivity, and most probably sympathetic activation following salt loading. These findings may be related and pertinent to the effect on BP.. Pressure-natriuresis was studied using the classic method designed by Roman and Cowley (23), which one allows to maintain, at a fixed level, most of the extrarenal factors that ...

Although urinary sodium excretion is positively influenced by acute changes in renal perfusion pressure, micropuncture studies show highly conflicting results concerning the response of superficial proximal tubule sodium reabsorption to changes in renal perfusion pressure. In the present study, the changes of superficial proximal reabsorption to decreased and increased renal perfusion pressure were determined in rats by an in vivo microperfusion method. In vivo microperfusion was selected as the method to determine the proximal sodium reabsorption because this method made it possible to deliver a constant fluid and electrolyte load to the proximal tubule without the influence of possible changes of glomerular filtration rate. Renal perfusion pressure was decreased from normal pressure by inflating a suprarenal aortic cuff and was increased from the normal level by the occlusion of celiac and mesenteric arteries and the infrarenal aorta. Although fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) in the urine ...

Result Gastrin infusing WKY rats via renal artery induced natriuresis and diuresis, which was blocked in the presence of CI988, a gastrin receptor blocker. Similarly, effect hereinbefore of fenoldopam, a D1-like receptor agonist, was blocked by D1-like receptor antagonist, SCH23390, indicating gastrin and fenoldopam play natriuretic and diuretic effect through individual receptors. Lower dosages of gastrin or fenoldopam failed to induce natriuresis and diuresis alone, while putting together induced the effects. The above-mentioned effects were lost in SHRs. Natriuresis and diuresis was partially blocked by SCH23390 or CI988, indicating the interaction between gastrin and D1-like receptor. Stimulation of either receptor increased the expression of the other and inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity, while the inhibitory effect of Na+-K+-ATPase activity was partially blocked through its corresponding receptors due to respective existence of SCH23390 and CI988.. ...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to decrease the natriuretic response to loop diuretics in many but not all studies. Recently, indomethacin was shown not to affect the natriuretic response to the new loop diuretic torasemide in healthy volunteers. Inasmuch as sodium balance has been reported to modify the effect of indomethacin on furosemide-induced natriuresis in dogs, we investigated the effect of indomethacin, under two sodium balances (50 and 150 mEq/day), on the natriuretic response to two doses of torasemide in six healthy volunteers. Under the low sodium diet, indomethacin reduced the natriuretic response to torasemide like that to furosemide. In contrast, on the normal sodium diet, indomethacin failed to affect the natriuretic response to torasemide. Indomethacin reduced base-line and diuretic-induced increase in plasma renin activity, plasma angiotensin II levels and urinary excretion of prostaglandin 6-keto F1 alpha to a similar extent under the two sodium diets. ...

1. A novel vasoconstrictor peptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY), has been identified in considerable quantities in the renal artery and kidney. Within the kidney, NPY was confined to the cortex and corticomedullary interface, the regions where the juxtaglomerular apparatus is most numerous.. 2. In the isolated perfused rat kidney, NPY caused a prompt dose-dependent increase in perfusion pressure and reduction in flow, with only a small fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In spite of the reduced renal perfusion, a dose-dependent natriuresis was observed. This response contrasts to the response of this preparation to noradrenaline, which causes sodium reabsorption.. 3. The presence of a potent vasoconstrictor and natriuretic peptide within the rat renovascular system suggests that it may play a significant role in the control of renal function.. ...

Level of salt intake has an important impact in patients with high blood pressure or congestive heart failure. Despite this there is no convenient way for doctors or patients to assess their salt intake other than diet recall, which is unreliable, or measurement of sodium excretion in a 24 hour collection of urine, which is very inconvenient. As a result, salt intake is not monitored in most patients.. 2 innovations might enable a more convenient assessment of salt intake. A titrator stick that measures chloride ion concentration (chloride and sodium concentrations correlate strongly with each other), and a titrator stick that measures urine creatinine. The latter enables estimation of 24 hour excretion from a single sample of urine. In assessing sodium intake, a measurement that provides an approximation of urine sodium intake would be of considerable clinical value. In this study, we shall compare the estimation of urine sodium excretion measured by a laboratory with estimation of sodium ...

The lowest doses of atrial natriuretic factor infusion resulted in circulating levels that were previously produced by 0-10% saline volume expansion. At the lowest infusion rate, circulating ANF increased 31 ± 3 pg/ml, resulting in a significant increase in absolute sodium excretion, fractional excretion of sodium, and fractional excretion of lithium, and a significant decrease in urine osmolality.

Effects of a K+ channel blocker on glomerular filtration rate and electrolyte excretion in conscious rats were observed. Effects of K+ channel modulation on glomerular filtration rate and electrolyte excretion were studied using the adenosine-triphosphate- (ATP)-sensitive K+ channel blocker 4-morpholinecarboximidine-N-1-adamantyl-N-cyclohexylhydr ochloride (U-37883A) in conscious rats previously equipped with catheters for clearance studies. In saline-loaded rats, i.v. doses of U-37883A of 1.7, 5.0 and 15 mg/kg increased absolute and fractional Na+ excretion dose-dependently without changing K+ excretion. The glomerular filtration rate remained constant during diuresis. In water-loaded (hypotonic dextrose) rats, free-water clearance studies revealed that the ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker significantly decreased an index of solute reabsorption (free-water clearance adjusted for chloride clearance) in the diluting segment during peak natriuretic activity. In addition, U-37883A significantly ...

Collectrin is an orphan member of the renin-angiotensin system with a previously unrecognized role in cardiovascular and renal physiology. We demonstrate that loss of collectrin results in hypertension, altered pressure natriuresis, and superoxide-dependent augmented salt sensitivity. We further demonstrate that deletion of collectrin results in endothelial dysfunction, which is associated with eNOS uncoupling, increased O2· − production, and decreased NO availability, likely as a result of impaired cellular uptake of l-arginine substrate. Our data suggest that collectrin plays a protective role against conditions that predispose to the hypertensive state by maintaining a balance of NO and O2· − through its role in facilitating the cellular uptake of l-arginine. It is worth noting that we previously reported that collectrin KO mice have normal development, are able to compensate for renal wasting of amino acids by increased liver synthesis of nonessential amino acids, and are able to ...

The effects of a stressful environmental stimulus (air stress) on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, renal sympathetic nerve activity, and renal function were studied in conscious deoxycorticosterone acetate-sodium chloride (DOCA-NaCl) hypertensive rats, sham DOCA-NaCl normotensive rats, and DOCA-NaCl rats with renal denervation. In conscious DOCA-NaCl hypertensive rats, air stress decreased urine flow rate [36% from 17.9 +/- 3.0 microliter X min-1 X 100 g body wt-1 (BW)], urinary sodium excretion (39% from 3.1 +/- 0.5 microeq X min-1 X 100 g BW-1), fractional water excretion (24% from 4.72 +/- 1.00%), and fractional sodium excretion (28% from 5.72 +/- 1.08%) and increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (94% from 8.3 +/- 0.6 integrator resets/min), but no changes occurred in glomerular filtration rate (-15% from 0.40 +/- 0.06 ml X min-1 X 100 g BW-1) or effective renal plasma flow (-7% from 2.50 +/- 0.53 ml X min-1 X 100 g BW-1).

TY - JOUR. T1 - Physiological features of edematous dogs unresponsive to atrial natriuretic peptide. AU - Maher, Elizabeth. AU - Cernacek, Peter. AU - Levy, Mortimer. PY - 1990. Y1 - 1990. N2 - Sodium-retaining cirrhotic and chronic caval dogs with ascites show a heterogeneous natriuretic response to atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) infusions such that half will increase their urinary excretion of sodium and half will show no natriuretic response whatsoever. In these studies we have examined several physiological variables that might discriminate between these two experimental populations. We studied 22 caval dogs (11 natriuretic responders, 11 nonresponders) and 19 cirrhotic dogs (9 responders, 10 nonresponders). After an infusion of rat ANP-(1-28), 125 ng·kg-1·min-1, differences in glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, or urinary excretion of guanosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) could not differentiate between the two types of dogs. When the left kidney of nonresponding dogs in ...

The results of this preliminary study confirm previous findings that preascitic cirrhotic patients have subtle sodium retention when placed on a 200 mmol sodium as opposed to a 100 mmol sodium per day intake,1 2 23 manifested as a reduced urinary sodium excretion, associated with suppression of systemic RAAS in the supine posture. The acute use of a low dose angiotensin II receptor antagonist resulted in normalisation of this subtle sodium handling abnormality in preascitic cirrhotic patients, despite unchanged renal and systemic haemodynamics.. A 200 mmol sodium per day diet was chosen for this study for several reasons. Preascitic cirrhotic patients have previously been shown to come into a steady state of subtle sodium retention after four days of this sodium intake,2 and therefore the study would not require a long run in period. Secondly, this level of sodium intake, although higher than that contained in the usual no added salt diet of 100-130 mmol sodium per day that the patients were ...

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Glitazones are powerful insulin sensitisers prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Their use is, however, associated with fluid retention and an increased risk of congestive heart failure. We previously demonstrated that pioglitazone increases proximal sodium reabsorption in healthy volunteers. This study examines the effects of pioglitazone on renal sodium handling in individuals prone to insulin resistance, i.e. those with diabetes and/or hypertension. METHODS: In this double-blind randomised placebo-controlled four-way crossover study, we examined the effects of pioglitazone (45 mg daily during 6 weeks) or placebo on renal, systemic and hormonal responses to changes in sodium intake in 16 individuals, eight with type 2 diabetes and eight with hypertension ...

1. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether an abnormality of the renal papillary circulation is present in a well-established model of cirrhosis without ascites (carbon tetrachloride/phenobarbital).. 2. Compared with the control animals, cirrhotic rats showed a reduced diuretic (61.0 ±5.1 versus 18.0 ±2.5%) and natriuretic (67.8 ±8.3 versus 29.6 ±3.6%) response to a volume expansion (3% body weight infusion of 0.9% NaCl). The volume expansion-induced increase in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure was also blunted in the cirrhotic rats (control 9.3 ±0.9 versus cirrhotic 6.1±1.0 mmHg) and there were no differences in mean arterial blood pressure, renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate between control and cirrhotic animals.. 3. Papillary plasma flow was determined by the 125I-albumin accumulation technique and expressed as mlmin−1100 g−1. In the basal state, papillary plasma flow was significantly lower in cirrhotic rats (59.1 ±4.4, n = 9) than in ...

One of the most common causes of a falsely elevated fractional excretion of sodium is diuretics. Diuretics directly increase sodium excretion, increasing the FENa without regard to natural renal sodium handling. The fractional excretion of urea circumvents this by measuring renal handling of urea, a molecule not affected by diuretics. With decreasing renal blood flow the kidney autoregulates to maintain a stable GFR. One of the results for this autoregulation is an increase in the fraction of renal plasma flow that is filtered through the glomerulus, the filtration fraction. The increased filtration fraction means that the serum albumin, which is not filtered, is dissolved in less plasma so is found at a greater concentration and thus exerts increased osmotic pressure drawing water, sodium and urea from the proximal tubule back to the blood. This lowers the excretion of urea. This decreased clearance of urea with decreased effective circulating volume decreases the fractional excretion of urea ...

Hypoxanthine plus xanthine oxidase causes profound natriuresis without affecting renal blood flow autoregulation. Background Enhanced superoxide production by xanthine oxidase in ischemia/reperfusion has been implicated in structural damage. The reperfusion phase is accompanied by decreased tubular sodium reabsorption, which has been partly attributed to enhanced action of . In the present study we assessed whether intrarenal increases of accomplished by concomitant intrarenal hypoxanthine and intravenous xanthine oxidase (HX/XO) infusion would decrease or increase sodium excretion, and whether HX/XO infusion could be responsible for the diminished efficacy of renal blood flow (RBF) autoregulation in ischemia/reperfusion. Methods In the first group of Sprague-Dawley rats, renal sodium handling was measured before and during infusion. In the second group, renal hemodynamics and RBF autoregulation were assessed. Results Intrarenal infusion dramatically increased urine flow from 14.5 2.0 L/min to ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a peptide hormone which reduces an expanded extracellular fluid (ECF) volume by increasing renal sodium excretion. ANP is synthesized, and secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the atria in the heart. These cells contain volume receptors which respond to increased stretching of the atrial wall due to increased atrial blood volume. ANP is one of a family of nine natriuretic peptides: seven are atrial in origin. ANP acts on the kidney to increase sodium and water excretion (natriuresis) in the following ways: 1) it dilates the glomerular afferent and constrict efferent arterioles, and relaxes the mesangial cells. This increases pressure in the glomerular capillaries, increasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), resulting in an increased amount of sodium and water being filtered and excreted. 2) It increases blood flow through the vasa recta, which washes the solutes sodium chloride (NaCl) and urea out of the medullary interstitium - the lower ...
