Dexamethasone, aldosterone and kallikrein release by isolated rat kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The effect of D-aldosterone and dexamethasone on kallikrein release was studied in the isolated rat kidney perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer. 2. Animals received D-aldosterone or dexamethasone (10 microgram/100 g body weight) daily for 3 days. Their isolated kidneys were then perfused with the same steroids at rates of 2.0-2.5 microgram/min for 30 min. 3. Dexamethasone increased kallikrein release significantly (P less than 0.001) both in urine and in venous outflow. 4. D-Aldosterone had no significant effect on kallikrein release, either in urine or in venous outflow.

The effects of aldosterone and spironolactone on renal kallikrein in the rat.
1. A technique has been developed for the measurement of kallikrein 'production' in rat renal cortical cells in suspension. 2. After preparative steps, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose yielded a peak of alpha-N-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (Tos-Arg-OMe) esterase activity identical with kallikrein isolated from rat urine in respect of pH optimum, effects of inhibitors, biological activit...
متن کاملRelease of activatable kallikrein by isolated rat kidneys.
Rat isolated kidneys were perfused for 60 minutes with a modified Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate solution. Perfusate and urine samples showed kininogenase activity (active kallikrein) which could be enhanced by activation with trypsin (activatable kallikrein). Identification of the kininogenase activity generated by trypsin was made with rat renal kallikrein antiserum, aprotinin, lima bean trypsin...
متن کاملIncreased excretion of kallikrein during dexamethasone administration in normal man on low and normal salt intake.
The effect of dexamethasone administration for 3 days on urinary kallikrein excretion was studied in 12 normal men with normal sodium intake (n = 6) or low sodium intake (n = 6). Urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, 17-hydroxycorticosteroids, aldosterone and water was also measured in all subjects. Dexamethasone administration was associated with a significant increase in urinary kallikrein ...
متن کاملRegulation by adrenal corticosteroids of sodium and potassium transport in loop of Henle and distal tubule of rat kidney.
Studies were conducted to examine the effects of adrenalectomy (ADX) and selective, physiological adrenal corticosteroid replacement on sodium and potassium transport by the superficial loop of Henle and distal tubule of rat kidney in vivo. In the loop of Henle, ADX inhibited sodium reabsorption by 33%. Whereas dexamethasone had no effect on reabsorption, aldosterone increased sodium transport ...
متن کاملDirect action of rat urinary kallikrein on rat kidney to release renin.
To study the effect of kallikrein on renal renin release, we superfused rat renal cortical slices with 3.5 to 140 milliesterase units (mEU)/ml of purified rat urinary kallikrein. Kallikrein was a potent stimulus of renin release. Renin rose in a dose-dependent fashion from 70 mEU/ml to 140 mEU/ml. The response to 140 mEU/ml was greater than that seen with maximal doses of prostaglandin E2 (170 ...
