The effects of l-epinephrine, l-norepinephrine, phenylephrine, methoxamine, metaraminol and mephentermine on renal hemodynamics were studied in six groups of dogs. Although comparable rises in blood pressure were obtained, there were marked differences in the effects on renal hemodynamics. While infusion of mephentermine led to only slight reductions in glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow, and only a slight increase in renal vascular resistance, methoxamine produced a marked fall in flow and a marked increase in resistance. The other agents tested had effects which were intermediate between these two. The effects of these same drugs on renal hemodynamics were also compared in dogs made hypotensive by bleeding. While blood pressure increased significantly in all groups, glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow increased significantly only during infusion of mephentermine, metaraminol and phenylephrine. Since assays relative to the inherent vasodilator properties of these agents revealed epinephrine to be the only agent with marked activity, it seems unlikely that the observed effects were due to this factor. It is concluded that the observed changes were due to a greater reactivity of renal vascular vasoconstrictor adrenergic receptors with certain sympathicomimetic drugs than those of the vasculature in general.

Vandellia cordifolia (COLSM) G, DON of Scrophulariaceae (V. cordifolia) is an annual wild herb indigenous to Taiwan. It can be found in plains, low altitudes, swampy places, and paddy fields. Taiwanese folk physicians use it in "nephritis, uremia, furnucle, carbuncle." The LD50 (95% confidence limit) of the crude exract of V. codifolia given by the oral route was more than 10 g/kg in rats. By the intraperitoneal route, it was 4.6 g/kg (4.35–4.93), The extraction rate was 16.6%. We studied its effects on renal functions and blood pressure and found that (1) it had diuretic effect on normal rats, (2) it decreased glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow on normal kidneys in rabbits, (3) it had no effects on glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow on glycerin-induced insufficient kidneys in rabbits, (4) it had diuretic effects on both normal and glycerin-induced insufficient kidneys in rabbits, (5) it could inhibit Na+ and K+ reabsorptionn on normal and glycerin-induced insufficient kidneys in rabbits, (6) it had hypertensive effect and this effect could be blocked by phenoxybenzamine. From the above facts, we conclude that V, cordifolia had diuretic effect and it may act on renal tubules to inhibit Na+ and K+ reabsorption.

It was found that two known renal vasodilators had different effects on RBF and GFR in the setting of therapeutic blood levels of cyclosporine in hypertensive renal transplant patients. Captopril lowered blood pressure in these patients but also lowered blood flow and GFR. Nifedipine lowered blood pressure to the same degree but without lowering either RBF or GFR.

1. To evaluate whether sodium intake can modulate the action of endogenous kinins on renal function and haemodynamics, a receptor antagonist of bradykinin was infused in conscious normotensive rats maintained on either a normal or a low sodium diet. 2. The antagonist inhibited the hypotensive effect of exogenously administered bradykinin. It did not change the vasodepressor effect of acetylcholine, dopamine or prostaglandin E2. 3. The antagonist did not affect mean blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow or urinary sodium excretion, in rats on sodium restriction. It did not change mean blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate or urinary sodium excretion, but decreased renal blood flow, in rats on a normal sodium intake. 4. The kallikrein–kinin system has a role in the regulation of renal blood flow in rats on a normal sodium diet.

1. To determine the relevance of renal circulatory abnormalities found in the immature spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) to the genetic hypertensive process, glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow were measured in conscious F2 rats, derived from crossbreeding SHR and normotensive Wistar–Kyoto rats (WKY), at 4, 11 and 16 weeks of age by determining the renal clearances of 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetra-acetate and 125I-hippuran respectively. Plasma renin activity was measured at 11 and 16 weeks of age. 2. Mean arterial pressure, glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow increased between 4 and 11 weeks of age. Between 11 and 16 weeks the mean glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow did not alter, although the mean arterial pressure rose significantly. At 11 weeks of age, during the developmental phase of hypertension, a significant negative correlation between mean arterial pressure and both glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow was noted. However, by 16 weeks when the manifestations of genetic hypertension were more fully expressed, no correlation between mean arterial pressure and renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate was observed. Plasma renin activity was negatively correlated with both glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow, but the relationship was stronger at 11 than at 16 weeks of age. 3. These results suggest that the reduction in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, found in immature SHR, is genetically linked to the hypertension and may be of primary pathogenetic importance. It is proposed that the increased renal vascular resistance in these young animals stimulates the rise of systemic arterial pressure which returns renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate to normal.
