Mechanism by which superoxide potentiates tubuloglomerular feedback.
The macula densa detects changes in NaCl concentration in tubular fluid and transmits a feedback signal, known as tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), which helps to control glomerular afferent arteriole resistance. We and other investigators have reported that synthesis of NO in the macula densa inhibits TGF. NO can be scavenged by superoxide (O(-)(2)) to form peroxynitrite, effectively reducing t...
متن کاملMechanism of inhibition of tubuloglomerular feedback by CO and cGMP.
Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) is a mechanism that senses NaCl in the macula densa (MD) and causes constriction of the afferent arteriole. CO, either endogenous or exogenous, inhibits TGF at least in part via cGMP. We hypothesize that CO in the MD, acting via both cGMP-dependent and -independent mechanisms, attenuates TGF by acting downstream from depolarization and calcium entry into the MD c...
متن کاملATP mediates tubuloglomerular feedback.
THE MACULA DENSA CELLS COMPRISE the sensing component of the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism and respond to changes in tubular fluid composition by transmitting signals to the afferent arterioles thus regulating the preglomerular vascular resistance and filtered load to the tubules (14, 15). This intriguing mechanism has remained under intensive investigation, and the accrued evidence...
متن کاملAdenosine mediates tubuloglomerular feedback.
VARIATIONS OF NaCl concentration in the macula densa region of the tubule between 20 and 60 mM/l cause inverse changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that, for the most part, are the result of a progressive increase in afferent arteriolar resistance and a subsequent fall in glomerular capillary pressure (5). The reductions in capillary pressure and GFR are rapidly inducible and rapidly rev...
متن کاملAdenosine A(2) receptors modulate tubuloglomerular feedback.
Adenosine can mediate the tubuloglomerular (TGF) response via activation of A(1) receptors on the afferent arteriole, but both adenosine A(1) and A(2) receptors can regulate preglomerular resistance. We tested the hypothesis that adenosine A(2) receptors offset the effect of A(1) receptors and modulate the TGF. Maximal TGF responses were measured in male Sprague-Dawley rats as changes in proxim...
