The Mean

Renal and hepatic function were studied during voluntary dives in Weddell seals by measuring the clearance rate of inulin and indocyanine green (ICG). Inulin is cleared exclusively by the kidneys and measures renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR). ICG is cleared by the liver and is blood flow dependent at concentrations used. Studies were conducted from a portable hut with a trapdoor placed over an isolated hole in the sea ice near McMurdo Station, Antarctica. An intravertebral extradural catheter was inserted percutaneously under light anesthesia in subadult seals weighing 130-200 kg. When released into the ice hole, the seals made voluntary dives, but always had to return to breathe. Serial blood samples were taken after single injections of inulin and ICG and analyzed within 24 h. The mean half time (t 1/2) for inulin clearance while resting at the surface was 27.3 +/- 13.0 min (n = 43) and the mean t 1/2 for ICG clearance was 18.3 +/- 7.3 min (n = 23). The mean resting GFR was 3.6 ml X min-1 X kg-1 (range 3.2-3.9, n = 3). Inulin and ICG clearance rates did not change from resting levels during dives shorter than the seal's aerobic dive limit (ADL). Inulin clearance decreased over 90% during dives longer than the ADL, but there was no significant reduction in ICG clearance during dives lasting up to 23 min. It appears that normal renal GFR and hepatic blood flow continue during natural aerobic dives. During dives that exceed the ADL, GFR is reduced but hepatic blood flow may be maintained.

Igf I

To characterize actions of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor ( (IGF-I) on renal function in rats with normal and reduced renal mass, we administered recombinant bovine growth hormone (bGH) or human IGF-I (hIGF-I) to normal rats or to rats that had undergone unilateral nephrectomy and two-thirds infarction of the contralateral kidney, and measured inulin and p-aminohippurate clearances over 10-17 days. Administration of either bGH (100-200 micrograms/day) or hIGF-I (200 micrograms/day) to rats with normal renal mass increased inulin and p-aminohippurate clearances compared with those measured in animals that received vehicle. Filtration fractions were not affected by either bGH or hIGF-I. Inulin clearance was decreased to approximately 17% of normal 1 day after reduction of renal mass in rats. Over the next 3 days insulin clearance increased significantly in rats with reduced renal mass that were administered vehicle. No further enhancement occurred during the next 7 days. Neither bGH nor hIGF-I affected inulin clearance in rats with reduced renal mass. We conclude that both GH and IGF-I enhance glomerular filtration rate when administered to rats with normal renal mass, but not when administered in the same quantities to rats in which renal functional mass is reduced. Glomerular filtration rate increases within 4 days of renal mass reduction independent of exogenous GH or IGF-I.

Selective Filter

The negative charges of the sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) were differentially neutralized by perfusin with high molarity buffers in order to determine whether or not these charges protect the GBM from being clogged by circulating plasma macromolecules. Progressive elimination of the negative charges resulted in clogging of the GBM by perfused native ferritin (NF) and bovine serum albumin as evidenced ultrastructurally by the increase in accumulation of NF in the GBM. In addition, the permeability of the GBM to 125I-insulin, a macromolecule which is normally freely permeable, and the glomerular filtration rate (as determined by [3H]inulin clearance) were markedly reduced after the GBM had been clogged with NF in the presence of high molarity buffer, thereby indicating that clogging severely reduces the ability of the GMB to act as a selective filter. These findings are consistent with the idea that the sulfated GAGs of the GBM serve as anticlogging agents.

Endogenous Substrates

We examined the effect of endogenous neural and tubular dopamine production on renal function in isolated perfused kidneys. Nerves and proximal tubules in perfused kidneys produce dopamine from endogenous substrates. Surgical denervation 5-14 days before perfusion removed neural dopamine production and decreased dopamine excretion 32% (P less than 0.05), inulin clearance 7% (P less than 0.05), and sodium excretion 57% (P less than 0.01). Carbidopa, which abolished neural and tubular dopamine production, produced similar functional effects. Haloperidol, Sch 23390, and (+)butaclamol, but not (-)butaclamol, added during perfusion increased renovascular resistance 4-5% (P less than 0.001) and decreased inulin clearance 20% (P less than 0.001). Sch 23390 reduced fractional sodium excretion (P less than 0.01), but haloperidol and butaclamol did not. Chronic denervation or carbidopa blocked the reduction of inulin clearance by haloperidol, but alpha- and beta-adrenergic antagonists did not. Fractional sodium excretion increased after adding haloperidol to denervated or adrenergic blocked kidneys. Denervation blocked the effect of Sch 23390 on inulin clearance but not on sodium excretion. Haloperidol inhibited dopamine excretion. Thus dopamine released from acutely severed nerves in perfused kidneys increases glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Dopamine produced by tubules of chronically denervated kidneys did not influence GFR but stimulated sodium excretion by an Sch 23390-sensitive mechanism.

Clearance Kinetics

Two nonradioactive methods for determining glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in conscious mice using FITC-labeled inulin (FITC-inulin) were evaluated. The first method measured GFR using clearance kinetics of plasma FITC-inulin after a single bolus injection. Based on a two-compartment model, estimated GFR was 236.69 ± 16.55 and 140.20 ± 22.27 μl/min in male and female C57BL/6J mice, respectively. Total or ⅚ nephrectomy reduced inulin clearance to 0 or 32.80 ± 9.32 μl/min, respectively. Conversely, diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin was associated with increased GFR. The other approach measured urinary inulin clearance using intraperitoneal microosmotic pumps to deliver FITC-inulin and metabolic cages to collect timed urine samples. This approach yielded similar GFR values of 211.11 ± 26.56 and 157.36 ± 20.02 μl/min in male and female mice, respectively. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of repeated nonisotopic measurement of inulin clearance in conscious mice.
