RESUMO

There is a surprising lack of experimental data on the renal sodium handle mechanisms induced by i.c.v injection of AngII in hypertensive animals. Thus, we hypothesized that a presumable blunted response to centrally injected AngII may contribute to sodium metabolism disturbances observed in SHR. The study was performed after acute i.c.v AngII administration on tubular sodium handling, evaluated by lithium clearance, in conscious, unrestrained rats and their sham-operated appropriate WKy controls. The present series of experiments were also designed to investigate the possible involvement of SOCS-3 expression in AngII-induced control of water ingestion in SHR hypothalamus. Our results confirm earlier reports on the potent natriuretic effects of central AngII receptor stimulation. The i.c.v application of AngII significantly decreased CCr and reciprocally promotes increased absolute and fractional excretion rates of sodium and potassium in both WKy and SHR animals. The magnitude of the renal response to AngII was significantly greater in WKy rats than in SHR. The enhancement of renal function following the centrally applied AngII in WKy rats as compared with SHR associated with age-related difference in JACK-2/SOCS-3 expression suggest that a dysfunction in the angiotensin neural pathways exists in SHR. Our findings lend further support to the idea that AngII in CNS is an instrumental in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. Speculatively, it seems interesting to suggest that perhaps one of the CNS inappropriate AngII pathway response defects may result in inability of renal tubules to handle the hydrosaline balance, consequently may contributing with development of arterial hypertension in genetically hypertensive rats from Kyoto.
