摘要
Renal effects of FR139317, an endothelin ETA receptor antagonist, were examined using anesthetized normotensive and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. The intravenous bolus injection of FR139317 (10 mg/kg) produced a slight decrease in mean blood pressure (MAP; -13%) in the control rats and this hypotension was accompanied by a moderate renal vasodilation (renal vascular resistance: RVR; -12%). In the DOCA-salt hypertensive rat, FR139317 had a more pronounced hypotensive effect (MAP; -26%) accompanied by a potent renal vasodilation (RVR; -33%). FR139317 significantly increased renal blood flow only in the DOCA-salt rats. In contrast, FR139317 produced a significant decrease in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion only in control rats. Northern blot analysis revealed that the renal prepro endothelin-l (ET-1) mRNA level was significantly increased in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Thus, it seems likely that endogenous ET-1 is responsible for the maintenance of DOCA-salt-induced hypertension. We also suggest that at least in part, ET-1 and ETA receptors are involved in renal hemodynamic abnormalities in DOCA-salt-induced hypertension. The augmentation of renal ET-1 production may possibly have a function in the development and maintenance of DOCA-salt-induced hypertension.
