We measured intracellular NA+ concentration ([Na+]i) of diabetic rat ventricular myocytes using sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI). We used diabetic rats at 8 weeks after the injection of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg i.v.). The level of [Na+]i during the control perfusion was significantly lower in diabetic myocytes than that in normal myocytes (9.2 +/- 0.4 mM v.s. 12.0 +/- 0.3 mM, p < 0.01). After the 40 min perfusion of 1 microM hexamethylene amiloride (HMA), [Na+]i decreased significantly in both groups. However, there was no difference in [Na+]i between the two groups after the perfusion of HMA. It was suggested that the lower [Na+]i in diabetic myocytes could be due to the decreased activity of Na+/H+ exchange system.

D000584 Amiloride A pyrazine compound inhibiting SODIUM reabsorption through SODIUM CHANNELS in renal EPITHELIAL CELLS. This inhibition creates a negative potential in the luminal membranes of principal cells, located in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Negative potential reduces secretion of potassium and hydrogen ions. Amiloride is used in conjunction with DIURETICS to spare POTASSIUM loss.
