Protein intake regulates the vasodilatory function of the kidney and NMDA receptor expression

Abstract

Glycine infusion in normal rats causes an increase in renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Although the renal response to glycine infusion is well characterized, the mechanism initiating this vasodilation is unknown. We recently observed functionally active N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the kidney, located primarily in tubular structures. The mechanisms regulating activity of the NMDA receptor within the kidney are also unknown, as is its normal day-to-day functional role. Therefore, we hypothesize that dietary protein may impact the functional response to glycine infusion in both untreated rats and rats pretreated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and, furthermore, that renal NMDA receptors may be involved in the glycine response. Surprisingly, 2 wk of low-protein diet (8% protein vs. 21% protein in control diet) totally inhibited the glycine-induced vasodilation and GFR response. Associated with the absence of renal vasodilation, a significant reduction in proximal tubular reabsorption was observed during glycine infusion in low-protein-diet rats. In contrast to the disease models previously studied in our laboratory, administration of ACE inhibitors did not restore the glycine r...Continue Reading
