Stimulation of urea and water transport by vasopressin (ADH) appears to occur via independent pathways. We examined the effects of altering serosal or mucosal bath pH on transport of water, urea, and sodium. Compared to bladders with a serosal bath pH of 7.4 to 8.0, reducing the serosal bath pH to 6.8 led to a 60% fall in ADH-stimulated osmotic water flow, without decreasing the permeability of urea. Raising the serosal pH to 9.5 had the opposite effect: urea permeability was inhibited by 40% without altering water flow. Exogenous cyclic AMP-stimulated water and urea permeabilities were not dissociated, but were changed in the same direction by alterations in serosal pH: serosal acidification enhanced the effect of exogenous cyclic AMP on both urea and water, whereas the cyclic AMP effect on both was diminished by serosal alkalinization. This was especially marked for urea, suggesting that an alteration in the urea response to cyclic AMP may be particularly important in defining vasopressin-stimulated urea permeability as the serosal bath pH is altered. Mucosal acidification increased short circuit current but decreased both the urea and water response to ADH and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP. The response to cyclic AMP was less consistent. Mucosal alkalinization did not cause significant changes in either basal or stimulated transport. The data demonstrate distinct and separable effects of bath pH alterations on each of the transport systems examined.

Mucosal acidification to pH 6.5 reduced by 88% the oxytocin- (2.2 x 10(-8) M) elicited increase of water permeability in frog urinary bladder. Mucosal alkalinization (pH 10.5) increased by as much as 200% the response to the same concentration of oxytocin. These effects were not observed when supramaximal concentrations of oxytocin were imployed. Similar changes were found when the serosal pH was modified. The hydrosmotic responses elicited by serosal hypertonicity or cyclic AMP plus theophylline were also affected by mucosal or serosal changes of the hydrogen in concentration, suggesting an effect at a post-cyclic AMP level. Important interactions were found between luminal pH and serosal hypertonicity when experimental conditions were employed similar to those observed in the collecting duct of mammalian nephron. Freeze-fracture studies showed that the number of intramembranous aggregates of particles induced by ADH in the luminal membrane was reduced by mucosal acidification and augmented by an increase in medium pH.

The effects of three tetracyclines, demethylchlortetracycline (DMC), minocycline (MNC), and oxytetracycline (OTC), on Na+ transport (measured as short-circuit current) were examined in toad urinary bladders mounted in modified Ussing chambers. During a 1-h incubation period serosal DMC (but not MNC or OTC) inhibited basal Na+ transport, whereas MNC (but not DMC or OTC) inhibited ADH-stimulated Na+ transport. MNC also inhibited cyclic AMP-stimulated Na+ transport. During longer incubation periods all three drugs inhibited basal Na+ transport. The DMC-induced inhibition of basal Na+ transport and the MNC-induced inhibition of ADH-stimulated Na+ transport were paralleled by an inhibition of the active conductance of the bladders. Thus, although all three drugs inhibit basal Na+ transport, only MNC inhibits ADH-stimulated Na+ transport. This effect does not correlate with the known effects of the tetracyclines on ADH-stimulated water flow or with drug-protein binding, and may be related to the greater lipid solubility of MNC.

The administration of c-AMP and DB c-AMP to six children with NDI has failed to yield an antidiuretic effect. From the present study it may be concluded that, at the doses used, neither c-AMP nor its dibutyryl derivative can mimic the action of ADH in NDI as they do in normal subjects. On the contrary, DB c-AMP increased urine volume and Cosm in a very marked way, without changing the creatinine excretion.

1. Physiological concentrations of antidiuretic hormone increase diffusional water permeability but not measurable cyclic AMP content in the isolated papilla of the rat's kidney. 2. Theophylline (6 mM) increases diffusional water permeability and cyclic AMP content in the isolated papilla of the rat's kidney. 3. The increase in water permeability is detected with 5 muunits.ml-1 of ADH and is maximal with 50 muunits.ml-1. The same maximum was achieved with 6 mM theophylline. 4. Cyclic AMP and dibutyryl cyclic AMP both increase water permeability, but to a lesser extent than theophylline or ADH. 5. In the presence of theophylline, ADH causes a dose related generation of tissue cyclic AMP up to a dose of 2,000,000 muunits.ml-1. 6. Adenyl cyclase is increasingly activated by ADH up to doses of 2,000,000 muunits.ml-1. 7. These results suggest that while ADH activates the adenyl cyclase system and changes water permeability there are sufficient disparities to cast doubt on an exclusive role for cyclic AMP as the second messenger.

The diffusional water permeabilities of collecting ducts in the presence and absence of antidiuretic hormone have been measured in isolated papillae from normal, hypokalaemic and hypercalcaemic rats. In a similar in vitro situation the effect of antidiuretic hormone on the papillary content of cyclic AMP has been measured. The diffusional water permeability of collecting ducts in the absence of antidiuretic hormone did not differ significantly in papillae taken from the different groups of rats. The diffusional water permeability in the presence of ADH was 7.4 +/- 0.2 (S.E.M.) mum s-1 in collecting ducts taken from normal rats. In collecting ducts taken from hypokalaemic or hypercalcaemic rats the corresponding values were 5.9 +/- 0.3 and 5.8 +/- 0.5 mum s-1 respectively. This significant decrease (P less than 0.01) in the response to antidiuretic hormone would shift the point at which distal tubule fluid first attains isotonicity with the interstitium. If this shifts from cortex to medulla a greater amount of water enters the interstitium of the medulla and produces an impairment of maximal urinary concentrating ability and this defect could explain most of the observed results in hypokalaemic and hypercalcaemic. Cyclic AMP content of the tissue after the addition of ADH was reduced in papillae taken from hypokalaemic rats. This reduced activation of adenyl cyclase could be the mechanism responsible for the impaired response in water permeability but it is also possible that there is interference, with the chain of reactions mediating permeability changes, at a separate site.

The diffusional and osmotic water permeability of collecting ducts in isolated papillae of rats' kidneys were measured in papillae taken from normal and lithium pretreated rats. The diffusional water permeability of collecting ducts in papillae from normal rats in the absence of ADH was 4.1 +/- 0.2 (S.E.M.) (n = 18) muM s-1 increasing to 7.2 +/- 0.6 mum s-1 with ADH. Values obtained with lithium (10 mM) in the medium, perfusate or both and in papillae taken from lithium pretreated rats did not differ significantly from the above. The cyclic AMP content of the papillae taken from normal rats was 83 +/- 6 pm mg protein in the absence of ADH and increased to 196 +/- 12 (n = 13) with 500 mu units ml-1 ADH. Lithium 10 mM in the medium did not alter this response. Papillae from lithium pretreated rats had a similar basal level of cyclic AMP but the increment in a lithium (10 mM) medium after ADH was significantly less. These results indicate that the impaired water handling of lithium treated rats is probably not due to a failure of the membrane to increase its permeability to water after ADH. Though lithium does alter the production of cyclic AMP this is not believed to be important regarding any alteration in water permeability. We believe it is probable that lithium interferes with sodium chloride transport at some more proximal nephron segment thereby producing the syndrome of polyuria.

Many hormones initiate their biologic actions by augmenting the intracellular concentrations of 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). The nucleotide has been found in body fluids; its determination in plasma and urine can be performed by a rapid, simple and specific method: the cyclic AMP assay kit of the Radiochemical Centre (Amersham, England). The assay is based on the competition between unlabelled cAMP and a fixed quantity of the tritium labelled compound for binding to a bovine muscle protein which has a high specificity and affinity for cAMP. Different factors must be considered in evaluating the 24 h urinary content of the nucleotide: the renal or extrarenal origin of cAMP and the functional status of the kidneys. In basal conditions the urinary cAMP excretion is significantly correlated with creatinine excretion (n = 67; r = 0.47; p less than 0.001) thus confirming that the most part of cAMP excreted is derived from the plasma by glomerular filtration. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates adenylate cyclase predominantly in the renal cortex, whereas vasopressin (ADH) stimulated the enzyme in the medulla; thus PTH and ADH could increase the amount of cAMP in the urine from the renal source. In a case of diabetes insipidus and infusion of ADH caused a prompt rise in cAMP urinary excretion. In 5 normals an infusion of bovine synthetic parathyroid hormone caused an increased excretion of cAMP that preceded the phosphaturic response. An infusion of salmon synthetic calcitonin caused a rise in phosphate excretion and no increase in cAMP urinary content. As it concerns the two calciotopic hormones, PTH and CT, it is reasonable to assume that renal receptors are distinct. The 24 h urinary excretion of cAMP in 55 control subjects (3613 +/- 1460 D.S. n moles) was contrasted with the lower excretion in 25 elderly subjects (70-93 years: 1804 +/- 699 n moles), with the high cAMP excretion in a patient with hyperparathyroidism (that fell to normal values following removal of the parathyroid adenoma) and with the low cAMP excretion in patients with primary or surgical hypoparathyroidism. The mean 24 h cAMP excretion in patients with renal insufficiency was significantly decreased when compared to control subjects. These findings and recent reports confirm that the 24 h urinary output of cAMP may be considered an useful index of pharathyroid function in man.

These studies further define the mechanisms by which insulin stimulates Na transport in the toad bladder. Serosal but not mucosal addition of insulin, 100-1,000 mU/ml, stimulated short-circuit current (SCC) by 25-50%. The initial rise in SCC occurred at 5 min and the peak response at 15-25 min. Doses of insulin greater than 250 mU/ml increased SCC values for up to 3 h. Actinomycin D did not block the early rise in SCC produced by insulin, but it blocked the delayed effects. Insulin increased SCC in substrate-depleted bladders, although the increase in SCC was less (P less than 0.01) than in nonsubstrate-depleted bladders. Pyruvate addition to substrate-depleted bladders restored to normal the rise in SCC observed after insulin. Simultaneous addition of ADH and insulin led to an increase in SCC that was greater than the sum of the responses observed when each hormone was added independently. Synergistic effects on SCC were also obtained with cyclic AMP and insulin. Insulin did not increase cyclic AMP levels in toad bladder epithelial cells. It is suggested that insulin stimulates active Na transport by two mechanisms: 1) a rapid phase, which may involve unmasking of pump sites within the membrane, and 2) a delayed effect which seems to require protein synthesis. The synergism of which seems to require protein synthesis. The synergism of insulin with ADH or cyclic AMP may reflect a facilitative effect of insulin on ADH or cyclic AMP-sensitive pump sites or, alternatively, the uncovering of latent pump sites that then may be available to stimulation by ADH or cyclic AMP.

Rats with hereditary hypothalamic diabetes insipidus, devoid of endogenous ADH, exhibited a prompt antidiuresis when injected subcutaneously or intraarterially with ovine prolactin. The antidiuresis was accompanied by a decrease in free water clearance and an increase in urine osmolality without a change in osmolal clearance or creatinine excretion. Measurement of PAH and insulin clearances indicated that prolactin had no effect on renal plasma flow or glomerular filtration rate. Prolactin injection caused a transient decrease in urinary sodium excretion, but proximal tubular sodium reabsorption, estimated by lissamine green transit time, was unaffected. The antidiuretic effect of prolactin could not be attributed to ADH contamination of the ovine prolactin preparation. Kidney cyclic AMP content was increased significantly 5 min after injection of prolactin. Thus, prolactin has an antidiuretic effect similar to that which occurs as a result of ADH action on the kidney and does not require either the release or the presence of ADH in order to cause the antidiuresis. Further, the impaired water excretion cannot be attributed to an increase in proximal tubular sodium reabsorption or to alteration of renal hemodynamics. It is suggested that prolactin has a direct ADH-like action on the kidney resulting in antidiuresis.
