    Notes: Summary The effect of acute ureteral obstruction (UO) and reduction of renal artery pressure (AC) on the adenosineinduced renal vasoconstriction was studied in the Munich-Wistar rat. Infusion of adenosine, 0.05 μmol/min · kg body weight, into the thoracic aorta, was associated with a fall of directly measured glomerular capillary pressure (P gc) from 45.2+1.8 to 32.5+1.7 mm Hg, P〈0.001. Elevation of ureter pressure to 39+2 mm Hg abolished the fall of P gc following adenosine infusion, 51.3+1.7 vs. 50.0+1.3 mm Hg, NS. Reduction of renal artery pressure to 70 mm Hg by an aortic clamp above the renal arteries also prevented the fall of P gc due to adenosine, 36.8+0.9 vs. 36.4+1.8 mm Hg, NS. Administration of indometacin (10 mg/kg i.v.) restored the ability of adenosine to reduce P gc in UO from 41.5+1.1 to 25.9+2.6 mm Hg (P〈0.001) and in AC from 34.0+3.4 to 28.2+75.7 mm Hg (P〈0.02). Since previous studies have demonstrated that in UO and AC renal prostaglandin synthesis is enhanced the effects of indometacin suggest that prostaglandins could be antagonistic to the action of adenosine on the kidney. The data show that the renal vasculature becomes insensitive to the vasoconstrictive action of adenosine during elevated ureter pressure and reduced renal artery pressure.
