Increased left atrial pressure does not alter renal function in the conscious primate. 1982

K G Cornish, and J P Gilmore

To study the functional role of the atriorenal reflex in the nonhuman primate, we chronically instrumented six Macaca fascicularis with left atrial snares and left atrial and aortic catheters. After inserting a bladder catheter, we determined hemodynamic and renal responses of the conscious chair-restrained monkey to increased left atrial pressure. In 23 snare experiments, no significant changes in renal or cardiovascular function were observed even though left atrial pressure increased from 6.5 +/- 3.3 to 16.2 +/- 3.4 mmHg. The animals were subjected also to blood volume expansion with isoncotic isotonic dextran solutions (+15% of calculated blood volume). They responded normally to this volume stimulus. Conscious dogs prepared in the same manner as the nonhuman primate exhibited diuresis in response to elevations of atrial pressure. We conclude that left atrial stretch receptors are not importantly involved in volume homeostasis in the nonhuman primate.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011674 Pulse The rhythmical expansion and contraction of an ARTERY produced by waves of pressure caused by the ejection of BLOOD from the left ventricle of the HEART as it contracts. Pulses
