Attenuated renal response to moxonidine and rilmenidine in one kidney-one clip hypertensive rats.

چکیده
1. I1 non-adrenoceptor, imidazoline receptor agonists, such as moxonidine, increase urine flow rate and sodium excretion following infusion into the renal artery. The functions of these agonists in genetic and acquired models of hypertension have not been determined. 2. We therefore studied the renal effects of two known non-adrenoceptor, imidazoline receptor agonists, rilmenidine and moxonidine, in 1K-1C hypertensive and 1K-sham normotensive rats. Rilmenidine (0, 3, 10, 30 nmol kg-1 min-1) or moxonidine (0, 1, 3, 10 nmol kg-1 min-1) was infused directly into the renal artery (30 gauge needle) of 1K-sham normotensive and 1K-1C hypertensive rats. 3. In 1K-sham normotensive rats, rilmenidine and moxonidine produced dose related increases in urine flow rate, sodium excretion and osmolar clearance. Both rilmenidine and moxonidine failed to increase urine flow rate, sodium excretion and osmolar clearance in 1K-1C hypertensive rats to the same extent as in 1K-sham animals. At comparable doses, rilmenidine had no effect, while moxonidine (3 and 10 nmol kg-1 min-1) did result in a small increase in urine volume and osmolar clearance which was less than that observed in the 1K sham control animals. 4. These studies indicate that the renal effects of non-adrenoceptor, imidazoline receptor stimulation are diminished in 1K-1C hypertensive rats compared with 1K-sham normotensive rats. Whether this decrease in activity of the natriuretic non-adrenoceptor, imidazoline receptors contributes to the increase in blood pressure in the 1K-1C acquired model of hypertension remains to be determined.

Effects of Low-dose Morphine on Nitric Oxide Concentration and Angiogenesis in Two-kidney One Clip Hypertensive Rats
Objective(s) We investigated the effects of low-dose morphine on nitric oxide (NO) and angiogenesis in two-kidney one clip hypertensive (2K1C) rats. Materials and Methods Male rats were divided into two groups: sham-clip operated and 2K1C. Each group subdivided into saline and morphine (3 mg/kg i.p. 8 weeks) groups. Blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity (PRA), NO concentration an...
متن کاملEffect of potassium chloride on the blood pressure in two-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats.
The effects of potassium loading on blood pressure (BP) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were investigated in two-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats. Two series of experiments were performed: one was begun just after renal artery constriction, and the other, after hypertension had developed. Potassium loading significantly attenuated the development of hypertension, and wa...

We determined whether the sympathetic excitatory responses to environmental stressors and the sympathoinhibitory responses to rilmenidine are altered by renovascular hypertension. Rabbits were made hypertensive with a clip on the right renal artery, and a left renal nerve recording electrode was implanted. After 3 or 6 weeks, the animals were given air-jet stress and loud noise stress before an...
متن کاملIntrarenal adenosine produces hypertension via renal nerves in the one-kidney, one clip rat.
The afferent renal nerves enhance sympathetic activity in the one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rat. We have also found adenosine-sensitive nerve endings in the renal pelvis that, when stimulated, increase sympathetic activity producing hypertension. To determine whether adenosine, which is excreted when renal blood flow is reduced, activates the afferent renal nerves in one-kidney, one-clip hy...
متن کاملEndogenous intrarenal adenosine preserves renal blood flow in one-kidney, one clip rats.
Intrarenal adenosine concentration is threefold greater in the one-kidney, one clip hypertensive rat compared with normotensive animals. Since exogenously administered adenosine may increase renal blood flow by direct vasodilation, inhibition of renin release, or prejunctional interruption of adrenergic neurotransmission, these studies examined whether endogenous intrarenal adenosine maintains ...
