No effect of intrarenal converting enzyme inhibition on canine renal blood flow

Abstract: Captopril and teprotide were administered intra-arterially to the kidney and intravenously to inhibit intrarenal and extrarenal converting enzyme (CE), respectively. Captopril was infused at 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 micrograms . kg-1 . min-1 intra-arterially, and teprotide was given at 0.4 and 0.8 micrograms . kg-1 . min-1 intra-arterially in salt-replete dogs (group 1). Both agents were also given intravenously in the dose of 0.2 mg/kg, known to cause maximal extrarenal CE inhibition. The intra-arterial infusions of… Show more

“…These results are consistent with re cent findings in spontaneously hypertensive rats [Lappe et al, 1985] that converting en zyme inhibitors exerted graded regional va sodilation. Different responses of RBF and CBF or VBF to MC-838 or captopril may reflect that, first, the sensitivity for the vasoconstricting action of circulating All, which depends presumably on possible differences in receptor number, affinity and/or avail ability, is different among these vascular beds, as Fiksen-Olsen et al [1983] have re cently suggested; second, activities of angio tensin-converting enzyme located in the tar get organs such as the lung, kidney, heart and brain are not uniform [Polsky-Cynkin et al, 1980;Cohen and Kurz, 1982;Unger et al, 1985], A similar increase in RBF produced by captopril as seen in this study has been re ported in pentobarbital-anesthetized [Murthy et al, 1978;Satoh et al, 1980] and conscious dogs [Zimmerman et al, 1982]. Zimmerman et al [1982] have demonstrated that the increase in resting RBF by intravenous ad ministration of captopril can be accounted for a reduced level of circulating All through inhibition of angiotensin-converting en zyme.…”

“…Although the administration of renin inhibitors, ACE inhibitors or AT 1 receptor antagonists directly into the renal artery has been frequently applied to study the acute effects of intrarenal RAS inhibition, conflicting results have been obtained. Whereas in many studies RAS inhibition resulted in an increased renal blood flow and/or a stimulated natriuresis (Kimbrough et al ., 1977; Levens et al ., 1981a, 1983; Kastner et al ., 1984; Li & Zimmerman, 1987; Siragy et al ., 1990; Levens, 1990; Verburg et al ., 1990; Peng & Knox, 1995; Cervenka & Navar, 1999), other studies failed to demonstrate any effect on these parameters (Wong & Zimmerman, 1980; Zimmerman et al ., 1982; Zimmerman & Finis, 1985) or stated that renal haemodynamics are mainly influenced by circulating Ang II (Hall et al ., 1981; Kastner et al ., 1984; Rassier et al ., 1986). In addition, some studies used anaesthetized animals (Li & Zimmerman, 1987; Levens, 1990; Verburg et al ., 1990; Cervenka & Navar, 1999) or lacked appropriate controls to exclude extrarenal influences of these drugs (Kimbrough et al ., 1977; Levens et al ., 1981a).…”

“…In contrast to EXP 3174, administered directly intrare nally to avoid changes in MAP, we infused captopril intrave nously, since Zimmerman et al [19] showed that intrarenal administration of ACE inhibitors is unable to block the con version of Angl to Angll. As a result, we observed a de crease in MAP after captopril which was not the case with EXP 3174.…”
