Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) has been proposed as a risk factor for increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Information on the activity of cardiac sympathetic innervation is non-homogeneous and incomplete. The aim of our study was to evaluate the tonic effect of SNS on heart rate, norepinephrine turnover and direct and indirect effects of norepinephrine in left ventricles of subtotally nephrectomized rats (SNX) in comparison with sham-operated animals (SHAM). Renal failure was verified by measuring serum creatinine and urea levels. SNX rats developed increased heart rates and blood pressure (BP). The increase in heart rate was not caused by sympathetic overactivity as the negative chronotropic effect of metipranolol did not differ between the SNX and SHAM animals. The positive inotropic effects of norepinephrine and tyramine on papillary muscle were not significantly different. Norepinephrine turnover was measured after the administration of tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor, pargyline, tyramine, desipramine, and KCl induced depolarization. The absolute amount of released norepinephrine was comparable in both groups despite a significantly decreased norepinephrine concentration in the cardiac tissue of the SNX rats. We conclude that CKD associated with renal denervation in rats led to adaptive changes characterized by an increased reuptake and intracellular norepinephrine turnover which maintained normal reactivity of the heart to sympathetic stimulation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008297 Male Males
D009392 Nephrectomy Excision of kidney. Heminephrectomy,Heminephrectomies,Nephrectomies
D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones. Neuropeptide Y-Like Immunoreactive Peptide,Neuropeptide Tyrosine,Neuropeptide Y Like Immunoreactive Peptide,Tyrosine, Neuropeptide
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
