Renal vascular responsiveness to arachidonic acid in experimental diabetes
View through CrossRef
Isolated perfused kidneys from diabetic rats (duration 4–6 and 20–24 weeks) were more sensitive to the vasoconstrictor effects of arachidonic acid than kidneys from age‐matched control rats. Sensitivity diminised with age in both control and diabetic groups.The enhanced vasoconstrictor effect of arachidonic acid in diabetic rat kidneys was associated with increased conversion to prostaglandins.The renal vasoconstrictor response to arachidonic acid in both groups was reduced by thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2receptor antagonism but not by inhibition of thromboxane synthase.Diabetic rat kidneys were also more sensitive to the vasoconstrictor effects of the endoperoxide analogue, U46619, while vasoconstrictor responses to phenylephrine were not markedly different from those of control rat kidneys.In conclusion, prostaglandin endoperoxides appear to mediate arachidonic acid‐induced vasoconstriction in diabetic and control rat kidneys. The enhanced renal vasoconstrictor response to arachidonic acid in diabetic rats results from increased sensitivity to endoperoxides and increased formation of endoperoxides from arachidonic acid.

Description:
Isolated perfused kidneys from diabetic rats (duration 4–6 and 20–24 weeks) were more sensitive to the vasoconstrictor effects of arachidonic acid than kidneys from age‐matched control rats.
Sensitivity diminised with age in both control and diabetic groups.
The enhanced vasoconstrictor effect of arachidonic acid in diabetic rat kidneys was associated with increased conversion to prostaglandins.
The renal vasoconstrictor response to arachidonic acid in both groups was reduced by thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2receptor antagonism but not by inhibition of thromboxane synthase.
Diabetic rat kidneys were also more sensitive to the vasoconstrictor effects of the endoperoxide analogue, U46619, while vasoconstrictor responses to phenylephrine were not markedly different from those of control rat kidneys.
In conclusion, prostaglandin endoperoxides appear to mediate arachidonic acid‐induced vasoconstriction in diabetic and control rat kidneys.
The enhanced renal vasoconstrictor response to arachidonic acid in diabetic rats results from increased sensitivity to endoperoxides and increased formation of endoperoxides from arachidonic acid.
