چکیده

This study compared renal hemodynamics, the expression of CYP4A isoforms [the enzymes for 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) production], and tubular sodium transporters in male rats fed a high-fat (HF) or control diet for 10 weeks. We also studied the effect of treatment with clofibrate, a CYP4A inducer, on sodium retention and renal function and on CYP4A expression in HF rats. HF rats had higher blood pressure (BP), renal plasma flow, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but no significant change in renal vascular resistance. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that CYP4A1 and CYP4A8 expression was significantly decreased in the renal cortex of HF rats. Western blot analysis showed up-regulation of expression of the alpha-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (alpha-ENaC), the beta-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (beta-ENaC), sodium/hydrogen exchanger (NHE)-3, and the renal outer medulla K(+) channel (ROMK) in HF rats, whereas expression of the gamma-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel and the alpha1-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase remained unchanged. Thus, HF treatment caused the reduction of renal CYP4A1 and CYP4A8 expression, whereas the increases in alpha-ENaC, beta-ENaC, NHE-3, and ROMK expression in renal tubules may have contributed sodium retention and hypertension in HF rats. Furthermore, clofibrate treatment (240 mg/kg/day) caused the decrease of BP and GFR and the attenuation of cumulative sodium balance in HF rats. The attenuation of sodium retention by clofibrate treatment is linked to decreased expression of NHE-3 in renal cortex. Clofibrate induction of CYP4A expression occurred in proximal tubules and in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle but not in renal microvessels. This induction correlated with the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARalpha) in renal tubules. Therefore, these results suggest that the effects of clofibrate on sodium retention and blood pressure regulation in HF rats may be due to the induction of renal tubular 20-HETE production through the PPARalpha pathway.

Co-administration of retinoic acid and atorvastatin mitigates high-fat diet induced renal damage in rats

Obesity causes many problems such as cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of retinoic acid and atorvastatin co-administration in kidneys protection against high-fat diet induced damage. Twenty-five male Wistar rats (200.00 ± 20.00 g) were divided into five groups: 1) Control (standard diet), 2) High-fat diet (cholesterol 1.00%, 75 days),...

Downregulation of renal CYP-derived eicosanoid synthesis in rats with diet-induced hypertension.

The incidence of essential hypertension increases with obesity; however, the mechanisms that link obesity with hypertension are unclear. Renal cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived eicosanoids--hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), and dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs)--have been shown to play an important role in the regulation of renal function, vascular tone, a...

Clofibrate prevents the development of hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats.

We have reported that cytochrome P-450-dependent omega-hydroxylation of arachidonic acid is reduced in microsomes prepared from the renal outer medulla of Dahl salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) rats, but the functional significance of this observation is unknown. The present study examined whether long-term induction of renal fatty acid omega-hydroxylase with clofibrate would alter the development of hype...

Induction of P4504A activity improves pressure-natriuresis in Dahl S rats.

Clofibrate has been reported to prevent the development of hypertension in Dahl S rats, but its mechanism of action remains to be determined. The present study examined the effects of clofibrate on renal P4504A activity and the pressure natriuresis relationship in Dahl S rats. Dahl S and R rats fed a low-salt diet (0.4% NaCl) were given either clofibrate (240 mg/kg/d) or vehicle (20 mmol/L Na2C...
