Studies in healthy human subjects subjected to lower body positive pressure (LBPP) have failed to elucidate many of the physiologic effects of this maneuver. In 7 healthy, well-hydrated men we studied the following responses to LBPP (35 mm Hg, 1 hour, supine position): systemic and renal hemodynamics; urine volume (UV), urine osmolality (Uosm), and urine sodium level (UNaV); free water (CH20) and osmolar (Cosm) clearances; plasma renin activity (PRA); levels of aldosterone (PA), cortisol (CORT), norepinephrine (NE), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and vasopressin (AVP); osmolality (Posm); and serum sodium level. Subjects were restudied on a control day with zero trouser pressure. The recorded changes (p < 0.05) when comparing the LBPP day with the control day were as follows: fractional Na+ reabsorption increased (98.7% +/- 0.2% to 99.3% +/- 0.1%) and UNaV decreased (0.19 +/- 0.03 mEq/min to 0.10 +/- 0.01 mEq/min), with concomitant increases in PRA (1.7 +/- 0.2 ng/ml/90 min to 4.5 +/- 1.8 ng/ml/90 min), PA (7.7 +/- 0.7 ng/dl to 9.3 +/- 1.5 ng/dl), and CORT (13.0 +/- 2.6 mg/dl to 19.2 +/- 3 mg/dl); the increase in blood pressure with LBPP (96 +/- 3 mm Hg to 112 +/- 4 mm Hg) was greater than that during control conditions. Renal plasma flow tended to display an interactive pattern across days, with a slight decline during LBPP (5%) and a slight elevation under control conditions (9%). On the LBPP day only, filtered Na+ declined (15 +/- I mEq/min to 12 +/- 1 mEq/min) as a function of reduced glomerular filtration rate (112 +/- 5 ml/min to 91 +/- 7 ml/min), blood volume decreased (by 2.7% +/- 0.7%), CO decreased (5.5 +/- 0.3 L/min to 4.7 +/- 0.3 L/min), and stroke volume declined (101 +/- 6 ml to 84 +/- 3 ml). On both days, NE increased (control, 221 +/- 23 pg/ml to 340 +/- 33 pg/ml; LBPP, 236 +/- 17 pg/ml to 369 +/- 31 pg/ml) and ANP increased (control, 47 +/- 7 pg/ml to 97 +/- 21 pg/ml; LBPP, 49 +/- 10 pg/ml to 104 +/- 30 pg/ml). We concluded that LBPP reduces renal sodium excretion. The mechanism for this reduction is not known, although it did occur in association with an increase in plasma renin activity, which in turn results from mechanical reduction of renal perfusion, stress-related CORT stimulation, a reflex-based elevation in peripheral vascular resistance leading to a reflex increase in plasma renin activity, or a combination of these.

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.
