Intrarenal vascular sites of action of adenosine and glucagon.

چکیده
Our purpose was to localize the intrarenal vascular sites of action of adenosine and glucagon. Renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were measured in anesthetized dogs, and renal perfusion pressure (RPP) was varied by an adjustable aortic clamp. At normal RPP, RBF was increased by all agents. In contrast, GFR was increased by glucagon, decreased by adenosine and unchanged by acetylcholine (ACh) or adenosine plus glucagon. The increases in RBF by glucagon occurred only at RPPs within the autoregulatory pressure range, and renal autoregulatory capability was attenuated during the infusion of glucagon. In contrast, adenosine increased RBF at RPPs both within and below the autoregulatory pressure range, and the autoregulatory capability was not perceptibly impaired. Superimposition of glucagon to adenosine caused further vasodilation, and the autoregulatory efficiency was completely attenuated. There was no difference between the RPP-RBF or RPP-GFR relations obtained during infusion of adenosine plus glucagon and ACh, which dilates both the afferent and efferent arterioles. It is generally accepted that afferent arteriolar resistance attains a minimum value at RPP near the lower limit of the autoregulatory range. Thus, our data indicate that glucagon and adenosine preferentially dilate the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole, respectively.

Physiological role of adenosine and its receptors in tissue hypoxia-induced
It is well known that the metabolic factors play an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis. Increased metabolic activity leads to decreased oxygen levels and causes tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia starts different signals to stimulate angiogenesis and promotes oxygen delivery to tissues. It has been suggested that released adenosine from hypoxic tissues plays a vital role in angiogenesis. ...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyroid gland activity modulation (Hyper or hypothyroidism) on energy utilization in broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty one-day-old Cobb broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary metabolizable energy (ME) treatment groups (80 chicks each). The control group (E0) was fed basal diet (3150 kcal/kg diet), the second group (E1) w...
متن کاملEffect of imipramine and desipramine on adenosine receptors in isolated rat atria
The effect of different doses (1-50 µ M) of imipramine (IMI) and desipramine (DES) on the rate and force of contraction of isolated rat atria was studied. IMI and DES produced a dose-dependent increase in force of contraction (31- 94% for IMI and 35-118% for DES). Pretreatment of rats with reserpine (5 mg/kg) on the isolated atria with propranolol (1 µ g) inhibited the positive ionotropic eff...

متن کاملEvidence for interdependent action of glucagon and nucleotides on the hepatic adenylate cyclase system.
The kinetic characteristics of glucagon action and binding as functions of hormone and nucleotide concentrations have been investigated in the hepatic adenylate cyclase system. Either App(NH)p (S’-adenylylimidodiphosphate), 0.1 mu, or ATP, 2 mu, was used as substrate. The formation of adenosine 3’:5’-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in response to glucagon exhibits lag times as long as 4 min in the p...
