This study evaluated phosphate excretion in response to atrial natriuretic peptide during acute hypocapnia in the presence or absence of the renal nerves in rats. To achieve a hypocapnic state, rats were mechanically hyperventilated with room air. As mechanical ventilation per se has been reported to affect renal excretory functions depending on the ventilatory conditions, this study was designed to examine renal functions during acute hypocapnia as compared with those during normocapnia produced by normal and/or hyperventilation. Rats were divided into three experimental groups: 1) a normally ventilated normocapnic (control) group (n = 8), 2) a hyperventilated normocapnic group (n = 8), and 3) a hyperventilated hypocapnic group (n = 8). The innervated right kidney served as a control for the contralateral denervated kidney. Acute renal denervation produced a greater phosphaturia compared to the innervated kidney during the control period in the two normocanic groups but not in the hypocapnic group. Infusion of ANP 12 micrograms/kg/h produced a remarkable increase in phosphate excretion in either kidney in the normocapnic groups. The degree of the phosphaturia (delta FEPi%) during infusion of ANP was similar between the normally ventilated and hyperventilated normocapnic groups both in innervated (10.6 +/- 2.4% and 7.4 +/- 1.2%) and denervated (14.0 +/- 3.0% and 13.5 +/- 2.2%) kidneys. In contrast to both normocapnic groups, the hypocapnic group had a greater hypophosphaturia during the control and ANP infusion periods in either kidney. The increase in fractional excretion of phosphate was smaller both in innervated (0.34 +/- 0.34% delta FEPi) and denervated (0.72 +/- 0.69% delta FEPi) kidneys than that in the other two normocapnic groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hypocapnia is known to have an antiphosphaturic effect that overcomes the phosphaturic effect of hypoxia. The objective of this study was to examine whether conscious rats exposed to acute hypoxia show a decrease in phosphate excretion due to the concomitant hypocapnia. Wistar rats weighing 200 g were exposed to hypoxia (inspired oxygen fraction = 0.10) or normoxia (inspired oxygen fraction = 0.21) for 6 h; and rats were alternately exposed to hypoxia or normoxia every 12 h for a total 36 h. Renal clearance and hormone studies were performed. Rats exposed to 6 h of hypoxia (n = 11) showed significant hypophosphaturia and decreases in absolute and fractional excretion of phosphate (0.38 +/- 0.10 microgram min-1, mean +/- SE, P < 0.0001 and 0.59 +/- 0.15%, P < 0.0001) as compared with normoxic rats (n = 11, 3.91 +/- 0.68 micrograms min-1 and 5.62 +/- 0.85%). In addition, nephrogenous adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate level per glomerular filtrate was significantly decreased (-0.87 +/- 0.64 nmol dL GF-1, P < 0.05) and plasma parathyroid hormone level was unchanged (45.2 +/- 9.5 pg mL-1) after 6 h of hypoxia as compared with normoxic rats (4.03 +/- 1.83 nmol dL GF-1 and 54.3 +/- 10.4 pg mL-1). A parallel increase in urinary noradrenaline and a decrease in dopamine excretion was observed in rats after 6 h of hypoxia. The decreased phosphate and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate excretion during acute hypoxia were restored to normoxic levels by reoxygenation with 21% oxygen in the study of 12-h intermittent hypoxia. In summary, (1) hypoxia produced by inhalation of 10% oxygen for 12 h or less causes reduced phosphate and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) excretion by spontaneously breathing rats; (2) these effects are reversed by reoxygenation and (3) hypoxia elicits a parallel increase in noradrenaline excretion and a decrease in dopamine excretion. These data suggest that renal adrenergic and dopaminergic systems play important roles in hypophosphaturia during acute hypoxia in conscious rats.
