Abstract

ABSTRACT. Abnormalities of nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen radical synthesis and of oxygen consumption have been described in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and may contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. NO plays a role in the regulation of renal oxygen consumption in normal kidney, so the response of renal cortical oxygen consumption to stimulators of NO production before and after the addition of the superoxide scavenging agent tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine-1-oxyl) was studied. Baseline cortical oxygen consumption was similar in SHR and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (SHR: 600 ± 55 nmol O2/min per g, WKY: 611 ± 51 nmol O2/min per g, P > 0.05). Addition of bradykinin, enalaprilat, and amlodipine decreased oxygen consumption significantly less in SHR than WKY (SHR: bradykinin −13.9 ± 1.9%, enalaprilat −15.3 ± 1.6%, amlodipine −11.9 ± 0.7%; WKY: bradykinin −22.8 ± 1.0%, enalaprilat −24.1 ± 2.0%, amlodipine −20.7 ± 2.3%; P < 0.05), consistent with less NO effect in SHR. Addition of tempol reversed the defects in responsiveness to enalaprilat and amlodipine, suggesting that inactivation of NO by superoxide contributes to decreased NO availability. The response to an NO donor was similar in both groups and was unaffected by the addition of tempol. These results demonstrate that NO availability in the kidney is decreased in SHR, resulting in increased oxygen consumption. This effect is due to enhanced production of superoxide in SHR. By lowering intrarenal oxygen levels, reduced NO may contribute to susceptibility to injury and renal fibrosis. Increasing NO production, decreasing oxidant stress, or both might prevent these changes by improving renal oxygenation.
