Degree of renal artery stenosis alters nitric oxide regulation of renal hemodynamics.

چکیده
Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) maintains RBF in normal kidneys and to the nonclipped kidney of two-kidney, one-clip (2K, 1C) renovascular hypertensive rats. However, in clipped kidneys with severe renal stenosis, EDNO has been reported not to influence RBF, and it was suggested that low perfusion diminishes the stimulus of shear stress for EDNO synthesis. It was hypothesized that lesser degrees of renal artery stenosis would allow greater renal perfusion and, hence, a greater role for EDNO in maintaining RBF in the clipped kidney. The renal response to EDNO synthesis inhibition was studied with 10 mg/kg body wt N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Four weeks after clipping, rats had different degrees of (functional) renal artery stenosis as determined by the ratio (R) of RBF (per gram kidney weight) in the nonclipped to clipped kidney. Stenosis was classified as either mild (R < or = 1.25) or moderate (R > or = 1.30). Both groups were similarly hypertensive (146 +/- 3 versus 148 +/- 6 mm Hg, respectively) and responded to L-NAME with a 42 mm Hg rise in blood pressure. In 2K,1C rats with mild renal artery stenosis, the renal response to L-NAME was similar in both nonclipped and clipped kidneys. RBF decreased by 17 to 19% (P < 0.005) and renal vascular resistance (RVR) increased by 59 to 63% (P < 0.005). When renal perfusion pressure was controlled, the decrease in RBF was exaggerated 3.6-fold in the nonclipped but only 2.3-fold in the clipped kidney, whereas the RVR increased proportionally.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Nephrotoxicity of Isosorbide Dinitrate and Cholestasis in Rat: The Possible Role of Nitric Oxide
Background: Nitric oxide (NO), a major chemical form of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and an important regulator of vascular tone, is released by endothelial cells. The role of NO is not restricted to the vascular system, and it participates in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and renal excretory function. There are increasing evidences indicating that the elevated levels of NO play a...
متن کاملStenosis-dependent role of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in chronic renal ischemia.
The role of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins (PG) in modifying renal hemodynamics was examined in clipped and nonclipped kidneys of unilateral renal artery stenosis. Chronic unilateral renal ischemia was established by 4-wk-clipping the left renal artery of canine kidneys, and renal interstitial nitrate+nitrite and PGE(2) contents were evaluated by the microdialysis technique. Unilateral re...
متن کاملEndothelin-A receptor blockade slows the progression of renal injury in experimental renovascular disease.
Endothelin (ET)-1, a potent renal vasoconstrictor with mitogenic properties, is upregulated by ischemia and has been shown to induce renal injury via the ET-A receptor. The potential role of ET-A blockade in chronic renovascular disease (RVD) has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported. We hypothesized that chronic ET-A receptor blockade would preserve renal hemodynamics and slow the pr...

Objective(s): We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the protective effects of remote ischemic per-conditioning (rIPerC) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in male rats. Materials and Methods: I/R treatment consisted of 45 min bilateral renal artery ischemia and 24 hr reperfusion interval. rIPerC was performed using four cycles of 2 min occlusions of the left femoral artery an...
متن کاملComparison of acute and chronic antioxidant interventions in experimental renovascular disease.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modulate renal hemodynamics and function both directly, by leading to vasoconstriction, and indirectly, by inducing renal inflammation and tissue growth. The involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of renovascular disease (RVD) is increasingly recognized, but the relative contribution of long-term tissue injury to renal dysfunction remains unclear. ...
