    Notes: Abstract In order to evaluate the possible role of vasoactive hormones in the mechanism of exaggerated sodium loss due to reduced renal mass we measured plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), aldosterone, plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma noradrenaline, and dopamine, in 12 children with advanced chronic renal failure (mean CIn17.8-2.6,x± SEM, CPAH93.5±17 ml/min per 1.73 m2, FENa7.0±0.95%). No patient had clinical signs of volume overload. Plasma concentrations of ANP were not significantly different from those of healthy agematched controls (29.2±7.2 vs 23.2±3.1 fmol/ml) and did not correlate with urinary sodium excretion. Plasma concentrations of aldosterone, PRA and noradrenaline, were also within the physiological range, while plasma dopamine levels were elevated (260±36 vs 98±11 pg/ml, 〈0.001). Our data do not support the notion that ANP or the renin-aldosterone axis play a major role in the adaptation of remaining nephrons to maintain long-term sodium balance in normotensive children with chronic renal failure.

    Notes: Summary Urinary kallikrein excretion was studied in young, stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rats (spSHR). Seven-week-old spSHR were found to excrete more kallikrein into the urine than normotensive Wistar Kyoto control rats (WKR). “Chemical sympathectomy”, induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) immediately after birth, resulted in normotensive blood-pressure levels and in a reduction of kallikrein in spSHR. In normotensive WKR, blood pressure and urinary kallikrein excretion were only slightly diminished by 6-OHDA. The results suggest a relationship between sympathetic activity and kallikrein excretion, being especially pronounced in spSHR, which have an elevated sympathetic activity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Brattleboro rats homozygous for hypothalamic hereditary diabetes insipidus (DI rats) were used to investigate the following questions: a) Do exogenous and endogenous angiotensin II (AII) have an antidiuretic effect in diabetes insipidus? b) Does AII mediate the antidiuresis induced by furosemide? The following results were obtained: 1. AII (5 mg/kg s.c. in oil) and furosemide (50 mg/kg i.p.) decreased urine flow and increased urinary sodium excretion. Furosemide led to a two-fold increase of AII plasma concentrations and a decrease of plasma sodium levels. 2. SQ 14 225 (2×2.5 mg/kg p.o.), an angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor, led to an increase of urine flow and to a slightly elevated urinary sodium excretion. 3. When the formation of AII was blocked by SQ 14 225 (2×2.5 mg/kg p.o.), AII plasma concentrations were 2.5-fold decreased, but furosemide still reduced urine flow. We conclude that plasma AII might have an antidiuretic action in DI rats. However, AII does not mediate the antidiuresis induced by furosemide.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei Brattleboro-Ratten mit hereditärem hypothalamischen Diabetes insipidus (DI Ratten) wurden folgende Fragen untersucht: a) Wirken exogenes and endogenes Angiotensin II (AII) antidiuretisch bei Diabetes insipidus? b) Vermittelt AII den antidiuretischen Effekt von Furosemid? Ergebnisse: 1. AII (5 mg/kg s.c. in Ö1) und Furosemid (50 mg/kg i.p.) verminderten die Urin- und erhöhten die renale Natriumausscheidung. Furosemid führte zu einem zweifachen Anstieg der AII Plasma Konzentration und zur Verminderung der Plasma-Natrium Konzentration. 2. SQ 14 225 (2×2,5 mg/kg p.o.), ein Hemmer des Angiotensin I Converting Enzym, führte zu einer Zunahme der Urin- und der renalen Natriumausscheidung. 3. Auch wenn die Bildung von AII mit SQ 14 225 (2×2,5 mg/kg p.o.) blockiert wurde, reduzierte Furosemid die Urinausscheidung, obwohl die AII Plasma Konzentration 2,5fach vermindert war. Wir schließen daraus, daß Plasma AII bei DI Ratten antidiuretisch wirken kann. Allerdings vermittelt AII nicht den antidiuretischen Effekt von Furosemid.

    Notes: Abstract Plasma catecholamines and vascular response to noradrenaline were studied in phosphate depleted rats. Phosphate depletion was induced in rats by dietary phosphorus deprivation for 6 weeks. Basal plasma concentrations of noradrenaline, adrenaline and dopamine were elevated in phosphate depleted rats compared to pairfed control rats. After exposure to cold (4° C, 45 min) the rise in plasma catecholamines was much more pronounced in phosphate depleted rats. In the isolated perfused rat heart, the uptake of tritiated noradrenaline was unchanged. In the isolated perfused hindlimb preparation the vascular response to noradrenaline, but not to potassium chloride and argininevasopressin was significantly diminished in phosphate depleted rats. It is concluded that in phosphate depletion sympathetic activity is elevated and vascular response to noradrenaline diminished.
