摘要
Experiments were performed in unanesthetized rats to determine responses to 48 h water restriction of the renal regional microcirculation (cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla) using implanted optical fibers and laser-Doppler flowmetry. The role of vasopressin (AVP) as a mediator of renal regional blood flow changes and its contribution to urinary concentrating ability were assessed by continuous intramedullary interstitial infusion of specific V-1 receptor antagonist d(CH2)(5)[Tyr-(Me)(2),Ala-NH2]AVP (2 ng . kg(-1). min(-1)). Inner medullary blood flow decreased 34% at the end of 48 h of water restriction, whereas cortical and outer medullary flow did not change. This fall in inner medullary blood flow was substantially attenuated (18%) by the continuous interstitial infusion of the antagonist. Plasma AVP levels increased from control levels of 3.4 +/- 1.1 to 20.5 +/- 5.4 pg/ml (P < 0.05) by the end of the 48-h period of water restriction. Arterial pressure increased slightly but significantly during water restriction in the control rats. Infusion of antagonist impaired the maximal urinary concentrating ability, as demonstrated by the lower urine osmolality in this group than in the control group (1,893 +/- 49 vs. 2,419 +/- 225 mosmol/kgH(2)O; P < 0.05) measured during the second day of water restriction. Sodium and urea concentration decreased 20 and 22%, respectively, indicating that both contributed to the lower urine osmolality observed in the group of rats receiving the antagonist. We conclude that water restriction induces a selective decrease in inner medullary blood flow, which is mediated almost completely by endogenously released AVP. This vascular effect of AVP contributes to the maximum concentrating ability of the kidney.
