چکیده

Using inulin as indicator of the extracellular fluid volume, the effects of Pitressin on the movements of sodium and potassium were studied in the nephrectomized rat together with simultaneously determined direct blood pressure values. Pitressin caused a movement of sodium and water into cells coupled with the extrusion of some potassium during the phase of blood pressure elevation. The beginning of the phase of blood pressure decline coincided with a rapid shift of potassium into cells while the sodium and water acquired by cells in the early phase were gradually extruded. These shifts were demonstrable with as little as 10 mU. of Pitressin intravenously while the maximal effect occurred in the 30 to 50 mU. dose range. These effects may account for many of the changes observed with Pitressin in the intact animal and also may have some bearing on blood pressure homeostasis.

The Effects of Human New Pressor Protein and Coagulation Factor XIIa on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Bilaterally Nephrectomized Rats

Background: New Pressor Protein (NPP) is a human plasma enzyme structurally related to b–fragment of activated factor XІІ (β-FXIIa). The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of NPP and β-FXIIa on systolic blood pressure and heart rate in bilateral nephrectomized rats. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were sham-operated or bilaterally nephrectomized under anes...

The effect of diuretics on extrarenal potassium tolerance.

A potassium loading study was performed in acutely nephrectomized rats to determine the extrarenal effects of diuretics on potassium tolerance. Four diuretics were evaluated: hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, bumetanide, and spironolactone. Following an intravenous potassium load (0.17 mEq/100 g over one hour), plasma potassium concentration rose by 2.69 +/- 0.26 to 3.67 +/- 0.20 mEq/L in all gr...

Vasopressin effects on plasma renin activity in male and female rats.

1. The influence of gonadal and pituitary factors on the plasma renin response to exogenous vasopressin was examined in anaesthetized rats. 2. Plasma renin activity (PRA) was measured in Brattleboro rats (with and without hypothalamic diabetes insipidus) and Long-Evans male and female rats, before and after single intravenous injection of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or saline. 3. Control saline ...
