1. In the normotensive rat (WKY) the guanine nucleotide, Gpp(NH)p, and sodium reduced the ability of the dopaminergic agonist fenoldopam to compete for the [3H]-SKF-38393 (dopamine-1 agonist) binding to the renal proximal tubular DA-1 receptors. 2. In the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) Gpp(NH)p failed to reduce the affinity of fenoldopam for [3H]-SKF-38393 binding to renal tubular DA-1 receptors. 3. Sodium reduced the affinity of fenoldopam for [3H]-SKF-38393 binding in the SHR renal proximal tubular cells, but to a lesser extent than the WKY. 4. We conclude that the SHR has a defective DA-1 receptor or Gs/receptor coupling which interferes with the ability of Gpp(NH)p to act on the DA receptor/G protein complex.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006973	Hypertension	Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D007687	Kidney Tubules, Proximal	The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.

D006165	Guanylyl Imidodiphosphate	A non-hydrolyzable analog of GTP, in which the oxygen atom bridging the beta to the gamma phosphate is replaced by a nitrogen atom. It binds tightly to G-protein in the presence of Mg2+. The nucleotide is a potent stimulator of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.

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.
