The existence of urinary excretion rhythms in dogs, which is a matter of controversy, was investigated under strictly controlled intake and environmental conditions. In seven conscious dogs, 14.5 mmol Na, 3.55 mmol K, and 91 ml H2O.kg body wt-1.24 h-1 were either administered with food at 8:30 A.M. or were continuously infused at 2 consecutive days. During these 3 days, automatized 20-min urine collections, mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), and heart rate (HR) recordings were performed without disturbing the dogs. Fundamental and partial periodicities, the noise component of urinary sodium excretion (UNaV), MABP, and HR were analyzed using a method derived from Fourier and Cosinor analysis. Oral intake (OI) leads to powerful 24-h periodicities in all dogs and seems to synchronize UNaV. UNaV on OI peaked between 1 and 3 P.M. Under the infusion regimen, signs of nonstationary rhythms and desynchronization predominated. UNaV under the infusion regimen could be separated into two components: a rather constant component continuously excreted and superimposed to this an oscillating component. No direct coupling between UNaV and MABP periodicities could be demonstrated. On OI, an increase in HR seems to advance the peak UNaV in the postprandial period. HR and MABP signals were both superimposed with noise. We conclude that UNaV rhythms are present in dogs. They are considerably more pronounced on OI.

.—Saline was infused intravenously for 90 min to normal, sodium-replete conscious dogs at three different rates (6, 20, and 30 μmol ⋅ kg− 1 ⋅ min− 1) as hypertonic solutions (HyperLoad-6, HyperLoad-20, and HyperLoad-30, respectively) or as isotonic solutions (IsoLoad-6, IsoLoad-20, and IsoLoad-30, respectively). Mean arterial blood pressure did not change with any infusion of 6 or 20 μmol ⋅ kg− 1 ⋅ min− 1. During HyperLoad-6, plasma vasopressin increased by 30%, although the increase in plasma osmolality (1.0 mosmol/kg) was insignificant. During HyperLoad-20, plasma ANG II decreased from 14 ± 2 to 7 ± 2 pg/ml and sodium excretion increased markedly (2.3 ± 0.8 to 19 ± 8 μmol/min), whereas glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remained constant. IsoLoad-20 decreased plasma ANG II similarly (13 ± 3 to 7 ± 1 pg/ml) concomitant with an increase in GFR and a smaller increase in sodium excretion (1.9 ± 1.0 to 11 ± 6 μmol/min). HyperLoad-30 and IsoLoad-30 increased mean arterial blood pressure by 6–7 mmHg and decreased plasma ANG II to ∼6 pg/ml, whereas sodium excretion increased to ∼60 μmol/min. The data demonstrate that, during slow sodium loading, the rate of excretion of sodium may increase 10-fold without changes in mean arterial blood pressure and GFR and suggest that the increase may be mediated by a decrease in plasma ANG II. Furthermore, the vasopressin system may respond to changes in plasma osmolality undetectable by conventional osmometry.

1. The effects of l-arginine on systemic and renal haemodynamics were investigated in conscious dogs. l-Arginine was administered intravenously at doses of 15 and 75 μmol min−1 kg−1 for 20 min. 2. Mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output were not changed significantly by l-arginine infusion. However, l-arginine infusion induced a significant elevation of renal blood flow from 50 ± 3 to 94 ± 12 ml/min (means ± sem, P < 0.01). 3. Simultaneous infusion of NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (0.5 μmol min−1 kg−1) significantly inhibited the increase in renal blood flow produced by l-arginine (15 μmol min−1 kg−1) without significant changes in mean arterial blood pressure or heart rate. 4. Pretreatment with atropine completely inhibited the l-arginine-induced increase in renal blood flow, whereas pretreatment with indomethacin attenuated it (63 ± 4 versus 82 ± 10 ml/min, P < 0.05). 5. A continuous infusion of l-arginine increased renal blood flow in the intact kidney (55 ± 3 versus 85 ± 9 ml/min, P < 0.05), but not in the contralateral denervated kidney (58 ± 3 versus 56 ± 4 ml/min, P > 0.05). 6. These results suggest that intravenously administered l-arginine produces an elevation of renal blood flow, which may be mediated by facilitation of endogenous acetylcholine-induced release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and vasodilatory prostaglandins.

Intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II) in rats elicits greater water intake under hypotensive, compared with normotensive, conditions. The present experiments used sinoaortic baroreceptor-denervated (SAD) rats and sham-operated rats to examine if the modulatory effects of arterial blood pressure on water intake in response to icv ANG II are mediated by arterial baroreceptors. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was raised or lowered by intravenous (i.v.) infusions of phenylephrine (1 or 10 micrograms.kg-1 x min-1) or minoxidil (25 micrograms.kg-1 x min-1), respectively. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril (0.33 mg/min) was infused i.v. to prevent the endogenous formation of ANG II during testing. Urinary excretion of water and solutes was measured throughout. Water intake elicited by icv ANG II was inversely related to changes in MAP. Specifically, rats drank more water in response to icv ANG II when MAP was reduced by minoxidil but drank less water when MAP was elevated by phenylephrine. The influence of changing MAP on the icv ANG II-induced drinking responses was not affected by SAD. These results suggest that the modulatory effects of arterial blood pressure on icv ANG II-induced drinking can occur in the absence of sinoaortic baroreceptor input.

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) may serve to enhance pulmonary gas exchange efficiency by matching pulmonary blood flow with lung volume within each respiratory cycle. We examined the hypothesis that RSA is augmented as an active physiological response to hypercapnia. We measured electrocardiograms and arterial blood pressure during progressive hypercapnia in conscious dogs that were prepared with a permanent tracheostomy and an implanted blood pressure telemetry unit. The intensity of RSA was assessed continuously as the amplitude of respiratory fluctuation of heart rate using complex demodulation. In a total of 39 runs of hypercapnia in 3 dogs, RSA increased by 38 and 43% of the control level when minute ventilation reached 10 and 15 l/min, respectively ( P < 0.0001 for both), and heart rate and mean arterial pressure showed no significant change. The increases in RSA were significant even after adjustment for the effects of increased tidal volume, respiratory rate, and respiratory fluctuation of arterial blood pressure ( P < 0.001). These observations indicate that increased RSA during hypercapnia is not the consequence of altered autonomic balance or respiratory patterns and support the hypothesis that RSA is augmented as an active physiological response to hypercapnia.

The escape from the sodium-retaining effects of prolonged mineralocorticoid treatment in animals and humans was first noted over 40 yr ago, but despite intense study the mechanisms responsible for the escape phenomenon have not been identified. Putative “natriuretic hormones” have been proposed to account for the escape phenomenon. To determine whether atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) could participate in the escape phenomenon, the mineralocorticoid deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) was administered to conscious dogs for 14 days. Escape was accompanied by a doubling of plasma ANP concentration and four- to sevenfold increases in cardiac ANP messenger RNA. There were also significant increases in mean arterial blood pressure during the last 8 days of DOCA treatment. Thus increases in the synthesis and secretion of ANP and increases in atrial pressure may represent mechanisms that contribute to the escape from mineralocorticoid-induced sodium retention.
