RESUMO
The effect of dietary variation in sodium chloride intake on the intrarenal distribution of plasma flow was investigated in rats using the antiglomerular basement membrane antibody technique. Rats were placed on a liquid diet containing either 9.86 (n = 9) or 0 (n = 9) mEq NaCl/daily portion for 2 wk. Labeled antibody was injected and the diets were reversed. After an additional 2 wk period, antibody labeled with a different radionuclide was injected and the animals were sacrificed. Fractional plasma flow distribution was then calculated for each dietary period. No change in flow to any cortical region could be detected. In six additional awake rats on identical dietary regimen, total plasma flow was estimated by the clearance of hippuran-131I. No change in this parameter occurred with changes in NaCl intake. We conclude, therefore, that no change in either total renal plasma flow or intracortical distribution of plasma flow occurs with wide variations in dietary sodium chloride intake in the rat. The implications of this constancy of regional plasma flow are discussed with reference to presumed concomitant alterations in the intrarenal distribution of nephron filtration rate.
