Abstract: | Summary The role of Ca channel and extracellular Ca2+ on autoregulation of renal blood flow was investigated in the perfused kidney of the anesthetized dog. The perfusion pressure was changed in the range between 60 and 200 mm Hg. Intra-arterial infusion of nifedipine (5 g/min) increased renal blood flow at a perfusion pressure above 100 mm Hg and inhibited autoregulation. Simultaneous infusion of 5 g/min of BAY K 8644 antagonized the effect of nifedipine. Renal blood flow was increased and autoregulatory relationship between flow and perfusion pressure was inhibited by EDTA (30 mg/min) infusion. The inhibitory effect of EDTA on renal autoregulation was counteracted by simultaneous infusion of CaCl2 at 30 mg/min, but not counteracted by that of BAY K 8644 (5 g/min). BAY K 8644 also could not antagonize the inhibitory effect of a vasodilator, papaverine (5 mg/min) on renal blood flow autoregulation. These results provide the evidence that the renal autoregulation involves the process of Ca2+ influx into the vascular smooth muscle cell through the Ca channels.
