RESUMEN
To characterize effects of V1- and V2-receptor stimulation on renal function, eight conscious mongrel female dogs were studied in four separate studies greater than or equal to 2 wk apart during the following six consecutive 20-min periods: 1) intrarenal administration of the full V1/V2-receptor antagonist SKF 105494 (100 ng.kg-1.min-1) during basal circulating vasopressin (VP) levels (n = 3), 2) elevation of renal arterial plasma VP concentrations by intrarenal administration of exogenous arginine VP (0.05 mU.kg-1.min-1, n = 5), 3) simultaneous administration of SKF 105494 at (100 ng.kg-1.min-1) with intrarenal administration of exogenous VP (0.05 mU.kg-1.min-1; n = 5), and 4) intrarenal vehicle alone (n = 5). When administered during conditions of basal circulating endogenous VP, the full receptor antagonist effects were limited to opposition of hydrosmotic effects of VP. Elevation of renal arterial plasma VP levels through infusion of exogenous VP resulted in decreased renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate, osmolar clearance, urinary flow rate, and free water clearance and increased urine osmolality. These effects were all abolished by simultaneous administration of V1/V2-receptor antagonist. These data suggest that, under basal low levels of circulating VP, VP only influences renal water excretion. However, when plasma VP concentrations are elevated, VP may contribute to renal vasoconstriction and secondarily to reduced solute excretion, in addition to its effects on free water clearance.

In order to evaluate the role of the alpha-adrenergic system in the systemic and renal hemodynamic changes of the acute combined blood gas derangement, seven conscious mongrel dogs in careful sodium balance (80 mEq/day for 4 days) were evaluated. Each animal was evaluated during combined acute hypoxemia (PaO2 = 35 +/- 1 mm Hg) and hypercapnic acidosis (PaCO2 = 56 +/- 2 mm Hg; pH = 7.18 +/- 0.01) with (i) vehicle (D5W) alone and (ii) alpha 1-adrenergic blockade with prazosin, 0.1 mg/kg iv. Mean arterial pressure increased during the combined blood gas derangement with vehicle. In contrast, mean arterial pressure fell during combined acute hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis with alpha 1-adrenergic blockade. The mechanism for abrogation of the rise in mean arterial pressure during the combined blood gas derangement by alpha 1-adrenergic blockade appeared to be through attenuation of the rise in cardiac output rather than an exaggerated fall in total peripheral resistance. These observations suggest that the alpha-adrenergic system is important in circulatory homeostasis during the combined blood gas derangement.

The role of endogenous opioids in systemic and renal circulatory changes during combined acute hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis was evaluated in seven conscious female mongrel dogs in rigid sodium balance. Animals were studied 2 wk apart in separate protocols of combined acute hypoxemia (arterial O2 tension = 33 +/- 1 mmHg) and hypercapnic acidosis (arterial CO2 tension = 56 +/- 1 mmHg, pH = 7.19 +/- 0.01) of 40 min duration during 1) naloxone, 5 mg/kg iv bolus followed by an intravenous infusion of 5 mg.kg-1.h-1, and 2) vehicle (5% dextrose in water) alone. Systemic circulatory changes during the combined acute blood-gas derangement including increased mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output and decreased total peripheral resistance were comparable between naloxone and vehicle treatments. However, in striking contrast to the brief fall in renal hemodynamic function during combined acute hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis with vehicle, naloxone administration during the combined acute blood-gas derangement resulted in a sustained decrease in effective renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate, and filtered sodium load and enhanced rise in circulating norepinephrine and epinephrine. Changes in plasma renin activity were comparable between vehicle and naloxone protocols except that plasma renin activity increased from the first to the second 20-min periods of combined hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis with naloxone. These observations suggest that endogenous opioids may contribute to preservation of renal hemodynamic function during acute blood-gas derangements, possibly through attenuation of sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotension activation.

The physiological relationship of increased circulating angiotensin II and vasopressin to circulatory changes during combined hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis is unclear. To evaluate the role(s) of angiotensin II and vasopressin, seven unanesthetized female mongrel dogs with controlled sodium intake (80 meq/24 h X 4 d) were studied during 40 min of combined acute hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis (PaO2, 36 +/- 1 mmHg; PaCO2, 55 +/- 2 mmHg; pH = 7.16 +/- 0.04) under the following conditions: (a) intact state with infusion of vehicles alone; (b) beta-adrenergic blockade with infusion of d,l-propranolol (1.0 mg/kg bolus, 0.5 mg/kg per h); of the vasopressin pressor antagonist d-(CH2)5Tyr(methyl)arginine-vasopressin (10 micrograms/kg); and (d) simultaneous vasopressin pressor and angiotensin II inhibition with the additional infusion of 1-sarcosine, 8-alanine angiotensin II (2.0 micrograms/kg per min). The rise in mean arterial pressure during the combined blood-gas derangement with vehicles appeared to be related to increased cardiac output, since total peripheral resistance fell. Beta-adrenergic blockade abolished the fall in total peripheral resistance and diminished the rise in cardiac output during combined hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis, but the systemic pressor response was unchanged. In addition, the rise in mean arterial pressure during the combined blood-gas derangement was unaltered with vasopressin pressor antagonism alone. In contrast, the simultaneous administration of the vasopressin pressor and angiotensin II inhibitors during combined hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis resulted in the abrogation of the overall systemic pressor response despite increased cardiac output, owing to a more pronounced fall in total peripheral resistance. Circulating catecholamines were increased during the combined blood-gas derangement with vasopressin pressor and angiotensin II blockade, suggesting that the abolition of the systemic pressor response in the last 30 min of combined hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis was not related to diminished activity of the sympathetic nervous system. These studies show that vasopressin and angiotensin II are major contributors to the systemic pressor response during combined acute hypoxemia and hypercapnic acidosis.
