Abstract
To study the effects of stimulation of renal prostaglandin biosynthesis by bradykinin, we assessed the changes in renal functions induced by intrarenal infusion of bradykinin (10 ng . min-1 . kg-1) in the dog anesthetized with pentobarbital before and during inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by sodium meclofenamate (5 mg/kg). Before meclofenamate administration, bradykinin augmented the urinary output of a "PGE"-like substance from 1.00 +/- 0.25 to 3.88 +/- 1.09 ng/min (P less than 0.05) and increased renal blood flow by 65 +/- 9 ml/min (P less than 0.001), urine flow by 0.55 +/- 0.23 ml/min (P less than 0.05), and sodium excretion by 64.8 +/- 18.0 mueq/min (P less than 0.01). Administration of meclofenamate did not affect the bradykinin-induced increase in renal blood flow and urine volume, but suppressed the evoked output of "PGE" and reduced the associated natriuresis, i.e., sodium excretion increased by only 11.1 +/- 4.8 mueq/min (P greater than 0.05). In contrast, meclofenamate did not affect the natriuresis effected by an equidilator dose of PGE2 (5 ng . min-1 . kg-1) infused intrarenally. These observations suggest that a product of prostaglandin synthetase produced by the kidney during intrarenal infusion of bradykinin contributes to the natriuretic action of the peptide.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
