Intact renal afferent arteriolar autoregulatory responsiveness in db/db mice.
The db/db mouse is a genetic model of type 2 diabetes that exhibits progressive renal disease. Obesity, hyperglycemia, and albuminuria (822 +/- 365 vs. 28 +/- 8 microg/day) are evident in 18-wk-old db/db compared with db/m (lean littermate control) mice. Our goal was to determine the blood pressure (BP) phenotype of the db/db mouse. Mean arterial BP measured in conscious mice by radiotelemetry ...
متن کاملAfferent arteriolar responsiveness to altered perfusion pressure in renal hypertension.
The present study was performed to determine the role of afferent arterioles in the impaired autoregulatory response shown to occur in the contralateral kidney of Goldblatt hypertensive rats. The responsiveness of juxtamedullary afferent arterioles to alterations in perfusion pressure was studied in the nonclipped kidney of two-kidney, one clip hypertensive and sham-operated rats. Systolic pres...
متن کاملHeme oxygenase induction attenuates afferent arteriolar autoregulatory responses.
Heme oxygenases (HO-1, HO-2) catalyze conversion of heme to iron, carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin/bilirubin. We studied the effects of renal HO-1 induction on afferent arteriole (Aff-Art) autoregulatory responses to increases in renal perfusion pressure (RPP). Rats were treated with hemin and SnCl2 to induce HO-1, and Aff-Art autoregulatory responses were evaluated using the rat blood-perf...
متن کاملRho-kinase inhibition reduces pressure-mediated autoregulatory adjustments in afferent arteriolar diameter.
Preglomerular resistance is regulated by calcium influx- and mobilization-dependent mechanisms; however, the role of Rho-kinase in calcium sensitization in the intact kidney has not been carefully examined. Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that Rho-kinase inhibition blunts pressure-mediated afferent arteriolar autoregulatory behavior and vasoconstrictor responses evoked by angi...
متن کاملRenal afferent arteriolar and tubuloglomerular feedback reactivity in mice with conditional deletions of adenosine 1 receptors.
Adenosine 1 receptors (A1AR) have been shown in previous experiments to play a major role in the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) constrictor response of afferent arterioles (AA) to increased loop of Henle flow. Overexpression studies have pointed to a critical role of vascular A1AR, but it has remained unclear whether selective deletion of A1AR from smooth muscle cells is sufficient to abolish ...
