Modulation of proximal tubular reabsorption by angiotensin II. 1986

J Zhuo, and P J Harris, and S L Skinner

In shrinking-drop micropuncture studies in anaesthetized rats proximal tubular fluid reabsorption (JVa) decreased by 36% following intravenous infusion of enalapril. In a separate group of rats enalapril reduced fractional lithium clearance indicating decreased proximal fluid reabsorption. Following enalapril, GFR rose by 46% but absolute proximal reabsorption rose by 22% indicating 48% effectiveness of proximal glomerulo-tubular balance (GTB). Since renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increased in parallel and arterial pressure fell, fluid uptake and proximal GTB were unlikely to have been decreased by peritubular physical forces. In anaesthetized rats proximal fluid reabsorption and proximal GTB are modulated by endogenous AII through direct stimulation of proximal tubular transport.

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.

It is considered to be equivalent to INULIN clearance. Filtration Rate, Glomerular,Filtration Rates, Glomerular,Glomerular Filtration Rates,Rate, Glomerular Filtration,Rates, Glomerular Filtration
D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
