Influence of ethacrynic acid on intrarenal renin release mechanisms. 1975

I Eide, and E Loyning, and O Langård, and F Kiil

Ethacrynic acid infused i.v. in anesthetized dogs after inhibiting sympathetic mechanisms of renin release increased renal blood flow rate (RBF) by 54% and practically abolished autoregulation of RBF; renin release increased from 0.8 +/- 0.9 (mean +/- SEM) to 16.4 +/- 3.7 mug/min (P less than 0.05). Without infusion of ethacrynic acid; constriction of the renal artery to a pressure below the range of autoregulation reduced renovascular resistance markedly and renin release rose to 27.2 +/- 5.5 mug/min (P less than 0.05). During arterial constriction, ethacrynic acid had no additional effect on renovascular resistance or renin release averaging 28.4 +/- 6.7 mug/min. Infusion of ethacrynic acid and saline at control pressure increased sodium excretion to about one-half of the filtrate and reduced rein release which did not, however, return to control. Infusion of hypertonic saline during autoregulated vasodilatation induced by arterial constriction had a similar effect, but again renin release continued to exceed control. We propose that ethacrynic acid increases renin release through a hemodynamic mechanism triggered by afferent arteriolar dilation and inhibits renin release by greatly increasing the delivery of sodium to the distal convoluted tubules.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004976 Ethacrynic Acid A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
