چکیده

The responses to changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were compared in 12-wk-old fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH), fawn-hooded low blood pressure (FHL), and August Copenhagen Irish (ACI) rats to determine whether autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) is altered in the FHH rat. Mean arterial pressure was significantly higher in conscious, chronically instrumented FHH rats than in FHL rats (121 ± 4 vs. 109 ± 6 mmHg). Baseline arterial pressures measured in ketamine-Inactin-anesthetized rats averaged 147 ± 2 mmHg ( n = 9) in FHH, 132 ± 2 mmHg ( n = 10) in FHL, and 123 ± 4 mmHg ( n = 9) in ACI rats. Baseline RBF was significantly higher in FHH than in FHL and ACI rats and averaged 9.6 ± 0.7, 7.4 ± 0.5, and 7.8 ± 0.9 ml ⋅ min-1 ⋅ g kidney wt-1, respectively. RBF was autoregulated in ACI and FHL but not in FHH rats. Autoregulatory indexes in the range of RPPs from 100 to 150 mmHg averaged 0.96 ± 0.12 in FHH vs. 0.42 ± 0.04 in FHL and 0.30 ± 0.02 in ACI rats. Glomerular filtration rate was 20-30% higher in FHH than in FHL and ACI rats. Elevations in RPP from 100 to 150 mmHg increased urinary protein excretion in FHH rats from 27 ± 2 to 87 ± 3 μg/min, whereas it was not significantly altered in FHL or ACI rats. The percentage of glomeruli exhibiting histological evidence of injury was not significantly different in the three strains of rats. These results indicate that autoregulation of RBF is impaired in FHH rats before the development of glomerulosclerosis and suggest that an abnormality in the control of renal vascular resistance may contribute to the development of proteinuria and renal failure in this strain of rats.

Altered renal hemodynamics and impaired myogenic responses in the fawn-hooded rat.

The present study examined whether an abnormality in the myogenic response of renal arterioles that impairs autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular capillary pressure (PGC) contributes to the development of renal damage in fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH) rats. Autoregulation of whole kidney, cortical, and medullary blood flow and PGC were compared in young (12 wk old) FHH and faw...

Identification of a QTL on chromosome 1 for impaired autoregulation of RBF in fawn-hooded hypertensive rats.

The present study evaluated whether the impairment in autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) in the fawn-hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rat colocalizes with the Rf-1 region on chromosome 1 that has been previously linked to the development of proteinuria in this strain. Autoregulation of RBF was measured in FHH and a consomic strain (FHH.1(BN)) in which chromosome 1 from the Brown-Norway (BN) rat ...

Reduced reactivity of renal microvessels to pressure and angiotensin II in fawn-hooded rats.

Fawn-Hooded rats possess an increased risk to develop glomerular damage. Both an impaired control of preglomerular resistance and an elevated postglomerular resistance have been implicated. In the present study, we directly assessed the myogenic reactivity of distal interlobular arteries and afferent arterioles from hypertensive and normotensive Fawn-Hooded rats compared with Sprague-Dawley and...

Late Breaking Presentations LB1 The Effects of the Rf1 and Rf-2/Bpfh1 Region from the FHH Rat on Renal Damage Susceptibility, Blood Pressure and Renal Autoregulation

Susceptibility to renal damage and hypertension of the Fawn Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rat have been found to be linked to five renal failure QTLs (Rf1 to Rf5) and two blood pressure QTLs (Bpfh1 and -2). The Rf1, Rf2 and Bpfh1 QTLs are in close vicinity on rat chromosome 1. To directly determine the effects of these QTLs congenic strains were generated carrying the QTLs from FHH on the genomic b...

This study examined the effect of substitution of a 2.4-megabase pair (Mbp) region of Brown Norway (BN) rat chromosome 1 (RNO1) between 258.8 and 261.2 Mbp onto the genetic background of fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH) rats on autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF), myogenic response of renal afferent arterioles (AF-art), K(+) channel activity in renal vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and...
