Abstract
The renal responses to a specific dopamine antagonist (cis-flupentixol) and its stereoisomer (trans-flupentixol), a weak dopamine antagonist, were examined during hydropenia and Ringer loading in anesthetized rats. During hydropenia glomerular filtration (GFR), absolute (UNaV) and fractional (FENa) Na+ excretion rates were similar as were single-nephron filtration (SNGFR) and proximal tubular flow rate (VTF). After Ringer loading GFR, UNaV and FENa increased in all groups, but the increments were less in the cis-flupentixol than in the control or trans-flupentixol group. SNGFR and VTF increased similarly in all groups. In another series of experiments Ringer loading was performed prior to drug administration. Perfusion pressure (PP) was decreased in trans-flupentixol rats by aortic constriction to control for cis-flupentixol-induced reduction in PP. UNaV and FeNa were lower in the cis-flupentixol- than trans-flupentixol-treated rats at comparable PP and GFR. Dopamine blockade attenuated the natriuresis of Ringer loading; the mechanism is uncertain but may be related to a tubular effect at a site beyond the proximal convoluted tubule and/or in deeper nephrons.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
