Abstract
The present study aims to test the hypothesis that U-II might have a direct anti-natriuretic action in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Bolus U-II injection (15 nmol kg(-1)) caused a transient decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urine flow rate (UV), urinary sodium (UNaV) and potassium excretion (U(K)V) that corresponded with a committed decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and renal blood flow (RBF) during the first 30 min. Continuous U-II infusion (0.2 nmol kg(-1)h(-1)) following a bolus U-II injection (0.3 nmol kg(-1)) caused an anti-natriuretic effect without any significant change in MAP, RBF, GFR, UV and UKV during the entire 1.5-h perfusion period in SHR. The levels of aldosterone and angiotensin II were not altered in the plasma and kidney, while plasma antidiuretic hormone decreased in response to U-II injection (15 nmol kg(-1)). Protein levels of U-II receptors (UT) were significantly increased in the kidney of 17-week-old SHR when compared with the age-matched WKY rats, while mRNA transcripts of both U-II and UT were increased in the kidney, left ventricle and thoracic aorta. In conclusion, U-II exerts a hemodynamic-independent anti-natriuretic action in adult SHR. The anti-natriuretic action of U...Continue Reading
