Blood pressure lowering effect of the aqueous extract of the stem of Ipomoea acanthocarpa (convolvulaceae) in spontaneously and salt-loaded hypertensive rats

Spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and salt-loaded hypertensive rats (SLHR) were submitted to a daily treatment by gavage of 2 mL/100 g body weight of the aqueous extract of the stem of Ipomoea acanthocarpa (30 mg/mL stock solution). A fall in blood pressure of nearly 13% was observed after two successive administrations of the aqueous extract. After 14 days of treatment, the blood pressure fell by more than 30±8%. The hypotensive effect might be due to a direct vascular smooth muscle effect or to its already observed high diuretic effects or might be acting by some other mechanism.

Sodium renal imaging in mice at high magnetic fields.

This work presents the first sodium MRI functional renal study on a mouse model. The tissue sodium concentration was monitored during induced diuresis with furosemide. By using density-weighted chemical shift imaging (DWCSI) at high field strength a temporal resolution of less than 5 min for three dimensional (3D) data sets with high spatial resolution was achieved. A maximum increase of 20% in the cortex and a decrease of 45% of the original signal strength in the medulla were observed. These findings correspond well with experiments conducted on much larger rodent models.     

Effects of sympathetic inhibition on blood pressure and renal responses to central hypervolaemia in normal humans

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of short-term sympathetic inhibition with clonidine on blood pressure and renal responses to central hypervolaemia induced by thermoneutral head-out water immersion. Eleven healthy subjects were randomly studied on two occasions, during a 1 h pre-immersion period, 2 h of water immersion and a 1 h post-immersion period, after either placebo or clonidine treatment. Clonidine caused a significant suppression of plasma adrenaline, plasma noradrenaline, urinary noradrenaline excretion and mean arterial blood pressure. Blood pressure remained constant during water immersion after both placebo and clonidine, compared with the respective pre-immersion control values. The suppression pattern of plasma catecholamines and urinary noradrenaline in response to water immersion during placebo was similar after clonidine treatment. Renal volume excretion was not affected by clonidine. In contrast, clonidine caused a significant attenuation of the immersion-induced stimulation of natriuresis (maximum -33±12%, P<0.01, compared with placebo). These data indicate that the renal capacity to excrete sodium is impaired during moderate blood pressure reduction by short-term sympathetic inhibition with clonidine, whereas the regulation of arterial blood pressure in response to central hypervolaemia is maintained.     

Negative modulation of nitric oxide production by neurotensin as a putative mechanism of the diuretic action of SR 48692 in rats

1. We investigated the effect of the non-peptide neurotensin (NT) antagonist SR 48692 on renal function in rats and the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the diuretic action of this compound.
2. In fed animals, SR 48692 dose-dependently (0.5 to 12.5 mg kg⁻¹, p.o., 0.03 to 1 mg kg⁻¹, i.p. and 0.1 to 1 μg/rat, i.c.v.) increased urine output and urinary excretion of Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl⁻ and reduced urine osmolality. The diuretic activity was also evident in water-deprived, fasted animals and in fasted, water-loaded rats.
3. NT (0.1 μg/rat, i.c.v.) had no effect on urine output in fed rats, but reduced the diuretic action of SR 48692 (1 μg/rat, i.c.v.). The opposite result was obtained in fasted, water-loaded animals: NT dose-dependently (0.01 and 0.1 μg/rat, i.c.v.) inhibited diuresis and this effect was significantly inhibited by i.c.v. SR 48692. In this experimental condition, SR 48692 did not further increase the on-going diuresis.
4. The NO synthesis inhibitor N^ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 30 mg kg⁻¹, i.p.) alone had no effect on urine output in fed rats but prevented the diuretic action of i.c.v. or i.p. SR 48692; L-arginine (1 g kg⁻¹, i.p.) but not D-arginine (1 g kg⁻¹, i.p.) restored the SR 48692-dependent increase in diuresis. L-NAME had no effect on furosemide-stimulated diuresis.
5. Systemically administered L-NAME or i.c.v. NT in fasted, water-loaded rats significantly reduced water diuresis but this effect was no longer seen in animals given i.p. L-arginine. Rats receiving i.c.v. NT, whose diuresis was significantly reduced, also excreted less nitrates and nitrites in urine.
6. Increased diuresis after central or systemic administration of SR 48692 to fed rats was paralleled by increased urinary excretion of nitrates and nitrites, this being consistent with peripheral enhancement of NO production after NT-receptor blockade by SR 48692. The increase in diuresis after furosemide also involved an increase of nitrates and nitrites in urine, but this effect was about half that attained with an equipotent diuretic dose of SR 48692.
7. In fed rats, the NO donor isosorbide-dinitrate, reduced systolic blood pressure (unlike SR 48692 which did not affect blood pressure) but also dose-dependently (1 and 5 mg kg⁻¹, i.p.) stimulated urine output.
8. The overall effects of SR 48692 strongly support a link between the actions of endogenous NT, AVP and peripheral NO production in the modulation of renal excretion of water, Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl⁻.

In vivo structure–activity studies on the dark‐color‐inducing neurohormone of locusts

In the 11‐residue long dark‐color‐inducing neurohormone (DCIN = [His⁷]‐corazonin), of locusts, from residue 2 to residue 11, one amino acid at each time was substituted by d ‐phenylalanine (d ‐Phe). The dark‐color‐inducing effect of these peptides was investigated in comparison with unaltered DCIN by a bioassay based on nymphs of a DCIN‐deficient albino mutant of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria. Substitution of any single amino acid by d ‐Phe always reduced the activity, but did not abolish it completely. Maximum inactivation was obtained after substitution of Gln4, Ser6, or Trp9. The latter two residues are within the partial sequence ‐Ser‐Xxx‐Gly‐Trp‐ (Xxx = His in the DCIN) that seems to be important for the dark‐color‐inducing activity, as found also in another study (Insect Biochem. Mol. Biol. 32, 2002, 909). Gln4, however, is outside of this partial sequence. Minimal, although still considerable, inactivation occurred after substitution of Gly8, Phe3, or Asn11, despite the fact that Gly8 is within the ‐Ser‐Xxx‐Gly‐Trp‐ partial sequence. In conclusion, no single active core was found, indicating that the whole sequence of the DCIN is necessary to induce maximum darkening effect. No difference was found in the activity of the peptides in which Gly8 was substituted by d ‐Phe or by L ‐Phe. Therefore the ‐Ser‐Xxx‐Gly‐Trp‐ partial sequence does not seem to be stabilized by a type II β‐turn. Nevertheless, existence of another kind of turn that includes this partial sequence is feasible. A single unsuccessful attempt was made to discover an antagonist to the DCIN.
