These experiments were designed to test whether changing perfusate calcium or magnesium concentrations affected renin release in the isolated perfused rat kidney, and whether kidneys removed from sodium-loaded or sodium-deprived rats released the same amount of renin in response to identical stimuli. Kidneys were perfused with Kreb-Henseleit solution containing albumin. Renin release was inversely related to perfusate calcium concentration, whereas renin release was directly related to perfusate magnesium. Although a low calcium medium or low perfusion pressure (50 mmHg) stimulated renin release, the release was substantially greater in the sodium-deprived rats. Increasing the perfusate sodium concentration from 85 to 206 mM increased excretion, but did not alter renin release. It is concluded that a) low perfusate calcium and high magnesium concentrations stimulate renin release, b) kidneys removed from sodium-deprived rats released substantially more renin thatn those from sodium-loaded rats, and c) changing perfusate sodium concentration alters sodium excretion, but does not affect renin release.

Alpha 2-Adrenoceptors are known to inhibit adenylate cyclase in a number of tissues, but their function in the kidney is unknown. Adenylate cyclase and sodium excretion were stimulated with furosemide (30 microM) in the rat kidney perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution (albumin 6.5 g/100 ml, 36 degrees C). beta-Adrenoceptors and alpha 1-adrenoceptors were blocked by propranolol (100 nM) and prazosin (30 nM) in the perfusate. Urinary cAMP and sodium excretion increased with furosemide. Activation of alpha 2-adrenoceptors with epinephrine (28 nM) caused no change in perfusion pressure or flow but decreased urinary cAMP and sodium excretion. These effects of epinephrine were reversed by the alpha 2-selective adrenoceptor blocking agent yohimbine (300 nM). Thus, in the setting of furosemide-stimulated sodium excretion and an associated elevation of adenylate cyclase, alpha 2-adrenoceptor stimulation resulted in sodium retention and inhibition of adenylate cyclase. By this receptor mechanism the sympathoadrenal system may contribute to retention of sodium.

1. The effects of lanthanum on renin release and renal vasoconstriction were studied in the isolated perfused rat kidney. 2. Lanthanum reduced noradrenaline-induced renal vasoconstriction. 3. Lanthanum prevented isoprenaline-induced and glucagon-induced stimulation of renin secretion.

1. The effect of diazoxide (17·3 μmol min—1 g—1) and frusemide (0·12 μmol min—1 g—1) on renin secretion was examined in the isolated perfused rat kidney. These substances are potential renal vasodilators with opposite effects on urine sodium excretion. 2. Both agents significantly increased renin secretion rate above control values. In the case of frusemide this was not altered by ureteric occlusion and presumed absence of urine flow. 3. Mean renal perfusion pressure decreased to the same extent with diazoxide and frusemide infusion as in the control experiments and no additional vasodilatory effect was observed on the basis of changes in flow rate of perfusate. 4. These observations identify an intrarenal site of action for diazoxide and frusemide on renin secretion. The apparent independence of this stimulatory action on renal vasodilatation and urine flow suggests a direct effect on the renin-producing cell.
