Abstract:
:We observed a significant increase in plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in antiorthostatic hypokinetic suspension (AOH) rats after 2 h of suspension when the experiment was made during day. Plasma ANF was investigated in relation to renal glomerular ANF receptors during AOH at night. The aim of this study was 1) to compare the day and night ANF responses to AOH 2) to determine whether the renal glomerular ANF receptors are involved. The rats were divided into 2 groups: i) 24 population cage (PC), and ii) 24 were attached by the tail (Morey's model) and remained in the horizontal position (attached horizontal-AH). Six AH were suspended (30 degrees) for 2 hours (AOH) and sacrificed with the controls: PC and AH (12.00h). The same experiment was made during the night (24.00h). A significant increase in plasma ANF was found in both AOH and AH after 2 h of suspension during day and night (19 +/- 2.3 pg/ml vs 9 +/- 0.95 and 18 +/- 3 pg/ml vs 10.2 +/- 1.8 respectively). PC rats had a significantly higher ANF level (38 +/- 5 pg/ml) than AH or AOH. The glomerular ANF receptor population was slightly lower in AOH than in AH (429 +/- 12 fmol/mg protein vs 507 +/- 5) during day. During night, a significantly lower number of ANF receptors was observed in AOH animals as compared to AH (168 +/- 2 fmol/mg protein vs 455 +/- 3). A decrease in glomerular receptors was also noted in PC during night. Day-time head-down tilt, bed rest or head-out water induced a natriuretic and diuretic response, whereas the normal recumbency at night does not lead to such effects. We conclude that the natriuretic and diuretic response not observed during night was associated with elevated plasma ANF levels and decreased ANF receptor density.
