Blunted pressure natriuresis in the Brattleboro diabetes insipidus rat.

چکیده
Antidiuretic hormone is known to stimulate the renal synthesis of prostaglandins. These autacoids, in turn, modulate the pressure natriuresis phenomenon. Accordingly, the present study was done to test the hypothesis that, in the absence of antidiuretic hormone and antidiuretic hormone-dependent prostaglandin synthesis, the pressure natriuresis response is blunted. Experiments were performed on Brattleboro diabetes insipidus rats (n = 7) and Long Evans control rats (n = 14). A change in perfusion pressure in the Long Evans rats from 89.3 +/- 1.0 to 108.7 +/- 1.1 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) was associated with significant increases in the fractional excretion of sodium (1.1 +/- 0.2 to 2.3 +/- 0.3%) and the urinary prostaglandin excretion (32.6 +/- 6.8 to 56.6 +/- 10.0 pg/min). In contrast, a similar change in perfusion pressure in the diabetes insipidus rat from 88.6 +/- 1.4 to 106.2 +/- 1.5 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) resulted in no significant increases in either sodium or prostaglandin excretions. Treatment of a third group of diabetes insipidus rats (n = 9) with 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (1 microgram/day) restored the natriuretic response to increases in renal perfusion pressure. Treated diabetes insipidus and Long Evans control rats had comparable natriuretic responses to increases in renal perfusion pressure. Untreated diabetes insipidus rats, on the other hand, had blunted responses. In summary, the pressure natriuresis response in diabetes insipidus rats is blunted compared with Long Evans control rats. We conclude that antidiuretic hormone is necessary for the complete expression of the pressure natriuresis response.

The effects of captopril on blood pressure, urinary water and electrolyte excretion and drinking behaviour in Brattleboro rats.
The effects of the orally active converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril (SQ 14225), on blood pressures and intakes and urine outputs of water and electrolytes were studied in rats with hereditary hypothalamic diabetes insipidus (Brattleboro strain) and in Long Evans rats (parent strain). Captopril given in the drinking water (30 mg day-1 kg-1) caused an increase in fluid intake and urine output...

The homozygote Brattleboro rat exhibits a hereditary diabetes insipidus due to a deficiency of vasopressin, the antidiuretic hormone. It has previously been shown that in this animal a single nucleotide deletion in the provasopressin gene leads to a mutant precursor with a C-terminal amino acid sequence different from that of the wild-type. However the N-terminal region including the hormone mo...

Vasopressin gene is expressed at low levels in the hypothalamus of the Brattleboro rat.
The Brattleboro rat carries as a recessive trait the inability to synthesize hypothalamic vasopressin and its related neurophysin but is able to synthesize oxytocin and its neurophysin. Brattleboro rats homozygous for this trait have no immunologically detectable circulating vasopressin and manifest a complete syndrome of diabetes insipidus, which is corrected with vasopressin replacement thera...
