Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) may play a role in early diabetic renal and glomerular growth and in the later development of experimental diabetic kidney disease. Rats from a genetic GH/IGF-I-deficient dwarf rat strain were made streptozotocin diabetic and were compared with nondiabetic dwarf rats. GH/IGF-I-intact rats with and without diabetes served as controls. After 6 mo of diabetes, kidney weight and total glomerular volume increased significantly in GH/IGF-I-intact diabetic rats compared with the nondiabetic GH/IGF-I-intact rats (P < 0.05), whereas the diabetic dwarf rats had insignificant changes compared with dwarf control rats. By the end of the study, urinary albumin excretion (UAE) increased from similar base levels of approximately 15-20 micrograms/24 h to 473 +/- 52 (SE) micrograms/24 h in GH/IGF-I-intact diabetic rats compared with 151 +/- 32 micrograms/24 h in diabetic dwarf rats (P < 0.01). In conclusion, isolated GH/IGF-I deficiency reduces the degree of renal and glomerular hypertrophy and the increase in UAE after 6 mo of experimental diabetes in GH/IGF-I-deficient rats.

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a calcium channel blocker on the development of renal changes in diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by an intravenous injection of streptozotocin in normotensive Wistar rats. Treatment was commenced immediately in 1 set of rats with 4 treatment arms: nitrendipine (250 mg/kg fodder), enalapril (35 mg/L drinking water), both treatments in combination, or placebo. Treatment was continued for 9 weeks. Another set of rats was left with untreated diabetes for 3 months followed by 7 weeks treatment as above. When starting treatment right after induction of diabetes, nitrendipine significantly reduced urinary albumin excretion (UAE) to the nondiabetic level (P< .05) without reducing blood pressure (BP), whereas enalapril failed to significantly reduce UAE despite a reduction in BP. Combining the two treatments showed no further reduction in UAE compared to monotherapy with nitrendipine, despite a lower BP. When leaving diabetic rats untreated for 3 months, only the coadministration of nitrendipine and enalapril showed a significant reduction in UAE compared to monotherapy and placebo treatment, but showed no significant effect on BP.

Diabetes is associated with increased production of 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(S)-HETE]. The mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia and angiotensin II (ANG II) regulate renal 12(S)-HETE production via a balance between angiotensin AT1 and AT2 receptors activities. Using a microdialysis technique, renal interstitial fluid (RIF) levels of ANG II and 12(S)-HETE were monitored in normal control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at baseline and then weekly thereafter for 12 wk. In a second group of normal and diabetic rats, 3 wk after development of diabetes, we monitored RIF 12(S)-HETE levels in response to acute AT1 receptor blockade with valsartan or AT2 receptor blockade with PD123319 individually or combined. Two weeks after induction of diabetes there was a 404% increase in ANG II ( P < 0.05), a 149% increase in 12S-HETE ( P < 0.05), and a 649% increase in urinary albumin excretion ( P < 0.05). These levels remained elevated throughout the study. PD123319 given alone had no effect on 12(S)-HETE. Valsartan decreased 12(S)-HETE by 61.6% ( P < 0.0001), a response that was abrogated when PD123319 was given with valsartan. These data demonstrate that hyperglycemia increases renal ANG II and 12(S)-HETE levels. The increase in 12(S)-HETE is mediated via AT1 receptor. The attenuation of the effects of AT1 receptor blockade by PD123319 suggests that AT2 receptor contributes to the downregulation of renal 12(S)-HETE production.
