Beta-Adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol hydrochloride in animals causes an antidiuresis similar to antidiuretic hormone. This investigation was undertaken to determine whether isoproterenol inhibits water diuresis in man. Seven young male volunteers were studied during water diuresis in three phases: (1) water-loading, (2) water-loading plus isoproterenol, and (3) water-loading plus isoproterenol plus propranolol hydrochloride. Antidiuresis occurred 20 minutes following isoproterenol infusion (0.03mug to 0.06mug/kg/min) from a mean of 19.4 to 2.0 ml/min. We found that antidiuresis is due to the hormonal (antidiuretic hormone) and nonhormonal changes (decreased glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow). These in turn are due to the cardiovascular effects of the drug.

Vasopressin is known to increase the permeability of the toad bladder, an analogue of the mammalian collecting duct, to water and hydrophilic solutes such as urea. In the present study, the effect of vasopressin on the permeability of a series of lipophilic compounds, including many commonly used drugs, has been determined. In all cases, permeability increased from 50 to 100%. The response to vasopressin was mediated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and was generally not altered by phloretin, an agent that inhibits amide movement through the amide transport pathway. Evidence that these compounds move directly through the lipid phase of the membrane was provided in studies of phenobarbital permeability at low and high luminal pH. We would conclude from these studies that the effect of vasopressin on the luminal cell membrane is a widespread one, modifying both lipid components and components involved in amide, sodium and water transport. This may be of importance in the renal tubular reabsorption of many drugs, including barbiturates, glutethimide and antibiotics.

1. Cytidine-5'-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid: (galactosyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl-(N-acetylneuraminyl)-galactosyl-glucosylceramide sialyltransferase (CMP-NAcNeu: monosialoganglioside (GM1) sialyltransferase) activity was demonstrated in the neurohypophysis of the rabbit. 2. Optimum activity occurred at pH 6.5 and required the presence of exogenous galactosyl-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(N-acetylneuraminyl)-galactosyl-glucosylceramide (GM1 ganglioside), detergent (Triton X-100), and divalent cation (Mn2+, Mg2+ or Ca2+). 3. The product of the reaction was characterized as N-acetylneuraminyl-galactosyl-N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(N-acetylneuraminyl)-galactosyl-glucosylceramide (GD1a) by ascending thin-layer chromatography. 4. Physiological stimulation of vasopressin secretion, by the substitution of 2.2% NaCl for drinking water for 14 days, had no effect on the enzyme activiity or the ganglioside content of the tissue.

dl-Propranolol (0.8-1.6 mg/kg - h for 1 h) produced a transient two- to three-fold increase in sodium excretion in nondiuretic rats infused with Pitressin and aldosterone and in water diuretic rats. Sodium excretion increased more in rats depleted of renin by chronic Doca and salt administration than in rats maintained on a low salt diet. An angiotensin inhibitor (1,sarcosine-8,valine angiotensin II) decreased sodium excretion. Therefore the natriuresis was not mediated by antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, or renin-angiotensin. d-Propranolol did not produce a natriuresis. Prior treatment with phenoxybenzamine did not prevent the natriuretic response but chlorisondamine pretreatment did. The natriuresis is produced by beta blockade and requires post ganglionic nerve function but is independent of alpha receptors. dl-Propranolol decreased heart rate and cardiac output but systemic pressure did not fall and renal blood flow increased. This suggests a dopamine-mediated renal vasodilation and natriuresis. Haloperidol and pimozide, both dopamine blocking agents with minimal beta blocking effects, prevented the natriuretic response. We conclude that propranolol may increase sodium excretion directly by blocking beta receptors in the distal nephron and indirectly by dopamine-mediated renal vasodilation.

The experiments were performed on male rats, drinking 2% NaCl solution ad libitum for 12 days instead of tap water. The pituitary gland was exposed by the transpharyngeal approach under urethane-chloralose anaesthesia. The posterior lobe remained in neural and partial vascular connection with the hypothalamus, whereas the anterior lobe was entirely removed. Samples of the outflow medium from the incubated in situ rat posterior pituitary lobe were collected during 30 min intervals. Substance P-like peptides and vasopressin activities were assayed by the biological tests. Injections of hypertonic solution into the internal carotid artery did not change vasopressin release, but induced an increase in Substance P release from the posterior pituitary lobe into the incubation medium. Under conditions of unexcitability of the osmosensitive cells, triggering vasopressin release, the injection of hypertonic solution into the internal carotid artery stimulated the Substance P-like peptides release from the posterior pituitary lobe.

The renal response of the fetal lamb to repeated complete occlusion of the umbilical cord was studied in nine chronically instrumented animals. Five episodes of occlusion of the umbilical cord, each lasting for two minutes, produced a twofold rise in fetal urine osmolality and sodium, chloride, and potassium concentrations. Output of urine and glomerular filtration rate remained essentially unchanged while free water clearance decreased from a control of +0.10 to -0.02 ml. per kilogram per minute at the end of the fifth episode. Electrolyte concentrations in urine remained elevated for at least two hours following the occlusions. In addition to changes in urine composition, there was a 50- to 200-fold increase in the fetal plasma concentration of vasopressin. These studies indicate that complete interruption of the umbilical circulation, even though of short duration, produces disturbances in fetal renal function that can lead to loss of electrolytes in the urine. They provide an explanation for the low sodium levels reported in asphyxiated newborn infants in renal failure.

The Authors studied the effects of e.v. Salbutamol evaluating the acute "in vivo" variations of acid-base and hydro-electrolitic balance in 16 chronic obstructive lung patients undergoing e.v. drug administration, and also ionic variations "in vitro" of venous blood samples incubated and tonometrated with the drug. The results "in vivo" do not show variations of acid-base equilibrium (paO2, paCO2, pH, HCO3-); whereas diminution of haematocrit (Ht), rise of urinary osmolarity and variations of hydro-electrolitic balance (Na+, K+, Cl-) are demonstrated. The results "in vitro" do not show considerable variations on ionic assessment. These data, according to the other latest result, indicate the possible role of haemodilution. We think that the explanation of these phenomena could be a modification of renal water and electrolytes reabsorption, likely under the influence of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), stimulated in the hypothalamus and activated also by the beta-stimulant drug at tubular cell receptors.

Rats given ethanol in their drinking water at a concentration that permitted adequate fluid intake gradually accepted higher concentrations and consumed larger amounts of ethanol. These increases were augmented when daily subcutaneous injections of 1 microgram of desglycinamide9-lysine8-vasopressin (DGLVP) or 10 microgram of prolyl-leucyl-glycinamide (PLG) were given concomitantly. Nonsignificant changes in ethanol consumption were seen with injections of 1 microgram PLG, or 0.42 or 42 microgram of lysine8-vasopressin (LVP). In a second experiment 4 microgram DGLVP given every second day as a long-acting zinc phosphate complex, commencing after the increases in ethanol intake had taken place, failed to produce any change in ethanol consumption subsequently. In both Experiments 1 and 2, the rats were switched from forced ethanol intake to a choice between ethanol and tap water. On these tests there was only marginal evidence of peptide-produced changes in ethanol intake.

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.

Clonidine s.c. (0.01-0.3 mg/kg), in unanesthetized rats, caused an initial rise (+20 mm Hg), followed by a continuous fall of BP and a dose-dependent natriuresis and diuresis for up to 2 h. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (CIn) increased during the first 20 min, while effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) (CPAH) remained normal. Subsequently, between 20 and 60 min after injection, ERPF (CPAH) decreased considerably while GFR had reverted to its normal value. In saline-infused rats clonidine diuresis was accompanied by an "inappropriate" positive free water clearance. Pentobarbital anesthesia suppressed the initial BP peak and the diuresis. Phenoxybenzamine (1 mg/kg i.v.) was antinatriuretic in saline diuresis; the effect of phenoxybenzamine + clonidine on diuresis and salt excretion represented the sum of the effects of both drugs, but phenoxybenzamine enhanced the clonidine-induced increase of GFR. Neither haloperidol (1 mg/kg i.v.) nor bulbocapnine (3 mg/kg i.v.) interfered with the renal effects of clonidine. Clonidine s.c. caused hyperglycemia and glucosuria which did not account for the natriuresis. Clonidine thus appears to increase the GFR and "filtration fraction" (FF) by a phenoxybenzamine-insensitive rise of glomerular ultrafiltration, to depress ERPF by alpha-adrenergic afferent vasoconstriction, to induce natriuresis by a tubular action not blocked by phenoxybenzamine and to exert an antivasopressin effect, either by depressing pituitary vasopressin secretion or the renal response to vasopressin.
