چکیده

The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) exhibits angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent oxidative stress and reduced efficiency of renal oxygen usage (QO2) for tubular sodium transport (TNa). We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress determines the reduced TNa:QO2 ratio in the clipped kidney of the early 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K,1C) Ang II-dependent model. One week after sham operation (Sham) or clip placement, 2K,1C rats received for 2 weeks either a vehicle, the superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol (Temp), or candesartan (Cand). Oxidative stress was assessed from excretion of 8-isoprostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and renal oxygenation from pO2 in the renal cortex and from the ratio of calculated TNa and QO2 values. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) of Sham (113+/-6 mm Hg) was increased in 2K,1C vehicle-treated rats (148+/-4 mm Hg), but both Temp and Cand restored MAP to Sham levels. The excretions of 8-iso-PGF2alpha and MDA were higher in 2K,1C vehicle-treated rats compared with Sham and were normalized by Temp. The pO2 of Sham (42+/-2 mm Hg) was lower in 2K,1C vehicle-treated animals (28+/-2 mm Hg). This was restored to Sham values by Temp (36+/-3 mm Hg) but not by Cand (28+/-2 mm Hg). The TNa:QO2 of Sham (12.9+/-1.6) was reduced in 2K,1C vehicle-treated rats (9.7+/-2.8) and was restored to Sham values by Temp (13.7+/-2.5) but not by Cand (7.5+/-1.6). We conclude that the correction of oxidative stress in the 2K,1C model partially corrects renal cortical hypoxia and inefficient utilization of O2 for Na+ transport, independent of the fall in blood pressure.

Kidney Blood Pressure, Blood Flow, and Oxygenation in the Clipped Kidney of Chronic 2-Kidney, 1-Clip Rats Effects of Tempol and Angiotensin Blockade

Angiotensin II maintains renal cortical blood flow and renal oxygenation in the clipped kidney of early 2-kidney, 1-clip Goldblatt hypertensive (2K,1C) rats. The involvement of Ang II is believed to decline, whereas oxidative stress increases during the progression of 2K,1C hypertension. We investigated the hypothesis that the acute administration of drugs to inhibit reactive oxygen species (Te...

Effect of Losartan injection into paraventricular nucleus on the deleterious effects of angiotensin II in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) and losartan injections into paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: After right nephrectomy in male rats, a cannula was inserted into the right PVN. One week later, renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury was induced by clamping the left renal artery for 45 min, a...

Background: Previous study by the authors showed that a-tocopherol prevents oxidative stress but would not improve depressed excretory variables in post-obstructed kidney (POK) after release of 24-h unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). This study is a supplementary investigation on the effects of a-tocopherol combined with an antagonist of angiotensin-II type-1 (AT1) receptor on renal dysfunc...
