| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of norepinephrine and vasopressin on urinary kallikrein excretion in the rat. Two studies were undertaken: (a) acute experiments in which the rats were infused with 30% dextrose in water with the addition of norepinephrine or vasopressin, (b) chronic experiments in which the drugs were infused during seven days through an osmotic minipump. In acute experiments, urinary kallikrein excretion increased without modification in urinary flow and glomerular filtration rate. In chronic experiments, urinary kallikrein excretion was not modified in norepinephrine-treated rats and decreased in vasopressin-infused animals. This decrease followed the modifications of the urine flow. In chronic experiments the dextrose infusion increased urinary kallikrein excretion. In all the groups studied a positive correlation between urine flow and urinary kallikrein excretion was observed. It is concluded that norepinephrine and vasopressin are important stimulators of the urinary kallikrein excretion only in those circumstances where it is necessary to eliminate an excess of water. |
