Enhancement of Renal Compensatory Hypertrophy by Hyperadrenocorticism and its Modulation by Nutritional Factors

Abstract: Renal compensatory hypertrophy (RCH) is enhanced by ACTH in the uninephrectomized rat. In the present experiments, the kidney weight and its content in protein, RNA and DNA were determined in 48 adult, female rats; 24 had free access to a NaCl solution (9 g/l) and the others to a glucose solution (50 g/l). In each group 12 rats were sacrificed 2 or 7 d. after uninephrectomy (UN). In each subgroup 6 rats were treated with ACTH (18 micrograms/100 g B.W./d) from operation until autopsy. RCH has been evaluated by … Show more

“…It has been reported recently that the hemodynamic and structural adaptation to injury is dissociated in the remnant kidney and the correlation between glomerular sclerosis and hy pertrophy is thus more evident than that between glomer ular sclerosis and glomerular hypertension [13,14]. Salt intake has been reported to influence compensatory renal 92 Nagashima/Okuda/Tamaki/Fujishima High Salt Diet and Glomerular Injury growth [1][2][3][4]. Dietary salt restriction inhibited the hyper trophic response to ablation and reduced glomerular inju ry in uninephrectomized spontaneously hypertensive rats [2], The effects of salt consumption on renal size and com position have also been studied in Dahl rats, in which renal growth due to hyperplasia accompanies the inges tion of a high salt diet in both salt-sensitive and resistant rats, but the growth rates differ between the strains [15].…”

“…Salt intake has been reported to influence compensato ry renal growth in rats [1][2][3][4]. A positive correlation between the solitary kidney weight and the daily urinary Na+ excretion was noticed in rats drinking a saline solu tion and treated with ACTH [1], In addition, the dietary salt restriction inhibited the hypertrophic responses to the Accepted: August 9.…”

“…Experimental work has hypothesized that dietary salt can directly modulate the renal structure. Salt restriction, in fact, diminishes both normal and compensatory renal growth [7,8,21,22]. Furthermore, in experimental models of renal insufficiency, a lower salt intake reduces the rate of GFR decline, proteinuria and renal damage, with the protective effect being superior to the diuretic treatment [7,9,10].…”

“…This also results in an increased risk of cardiovascular events, and even the earliest stage CKD was associated with an excess risk of subsequent coronary heart disease (CHD) [36]. The interactive effects of hormones and nutrients greatly affect growth, and maternal dietary excesses and/or deficiencies can result in diverse progeny susceptibilities to systemic/local injuries that manifest in a morbidity status later in life [37]. Recent post-hoc analyses of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease indicate that lower BP, specifically BP < 120/80 mmHg, may provide long-term kidney protection in patients with nondiabetic kidney disease.…”
