Renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in renal wrap hypertension in rabbits

Journal of Hypertension
K M DentonP I Korner

Abstract

Serial measurements of mean arterial pressure and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were made in rabbits before and 10, 28 and 56 days after bilateral renal cellophane wrap (n = 8) or sham operation (n = 6). No significant changes were seen 10 days after renal wrap, but by 28 days GFR was reduced by 50 +/- 3% and mean arterial pressure had risen by 42 +/- 5 mmHg. No significant further changes occurred over the subsequent month. Changes in plasma renin activity after renal wrapping were not significantly different to those seen after sham operation. In a separate series of experiments, renal extraction ratio of para-aminohippurate (PAH), 28 days after renal wrap, averaged 63 +/- 4% (n = 6) compared to 83 +/- 2% (n = 5) after sham operation. Calculated renal blood flow of the hypertensive rabbits was only about 40% of that in the sham operated rabbits. Thus large reductions in GFR, renal blood flow and PAH extraction ratio occurred following bilateral renal wrapping and these changes may reflect compression of the kidney by the cellophane induced fibrous capsule. These reductions occurred concomitantly with the rise in arterial blood pressure.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
