Abstract:
:Blood pressure fluctuates continuously throughout life and autoregulation is the primary mechanism that isolates the kidney from this fluctuation. Compared with Wistar rats, Brown Norway (B-N) rats display impaired renal myogenic autoregulation when blood pressure fluctuation is increased. They also are very susceptible to hypertension-induced renal injury. Because blockade of nitric oxide augments myogenic autoregulation in Wistar rats, we compared the response of the myogenic system in B-N rats to nitric oxide blockade with that of other strains [Wistar, Sprague-Dawley, Long-Evans, spontaneously hypertensive (SHR)]. Renal blood flow dynamics were assessed in isoflurane anesthetized rats before and after inhibition of nitric oxide synthase by Lomega-nitro-arginine methyl-ester (L-NAME, 10 mg/kg, iv). Under control conditions, myogenic autoregulation in the B-N rats was weaker than in the other strains. Myogenic autoregulation was not augmented after L-NAME administration in the SHR, but was augmented in all the normotensive rats. The enhancement was significantly greater in B-N rats so that after L-NAME the efficiency of autoregulation did not differ among the strains. The data suggest that nitric oxide is involved in the impaired myogenic autoregulation seen in B-N rats. Furthermore, the similarity of response in Wistar, Long-Evans, and Sprague-Dawley rats suggests that modulation by nitric oxide is a fundamental property of renal myogenic autoregulation.
