Abstract

To standardize microdialysis in rat kidneys and address cyclosporine A (CsA) effects on renal cortex and medulla interstitial glucose. Munich-Wistar rats were treated with vehicle or CsA (15 mg/kg/day) for 3 weeks. Glucose was assessed by spectrophotometry in dialysate samples from cortex, medulla and arterial plasma. Plasma insulin was measured by radioimmunoassay. Renal blood flow (RBF) was measured by Doppler ultrasound. Creatinine and urea were measured by spectrophotometry. CsA significantly increased the plasma levels of urea and creatinine (1.5 +/- 0.20 vs. 0.73 +/- 0.03 mg/dl in controls, p < 0.05). Medullary glucose in control was 44% lower than arterial glucose (56 +/- 6 vs. 101 +/- 8 mg/dl, p < 0.05). At the same time, CsA increased arterial (163 +/- 35 vs. 101 +/- 8 mg/dl in controls, p < 0.05) and medullary interstitial glucose (100 +/- 18 vs. 56 +/- 6 mg/dl in controls, p < 0.05), but did not affect cortical glucose (114 +/- 21 vs. 90 +/- 11 mg/dl in controls). These changes occurred in the presence of a decreased plasma insulin level (2.7 +/- 0.2 vs. 9.3 +/- 0.4 microU/ml in controls, p < 0.05). The increment in medullary glucose in CsA group occurred despite a reduction in RBF (4.6 +/- 0.8 vs. 6.5 +/- 1.0 ml/min...Continue Reading
