SHR (age 15 weeks) were given oral cilazapril 10 mg/kg body weight daily for 25 days (ACEI group). Systolic blood pressure was significantly decreased in the ACEI group as compared with the untreated SHRs (control group) after day 2. Urine volume in the ACEI group was 3- to 5-fold higher than that in the control group. Under these conditions, the renal AVP receptor was studied using the radiolabeled receptor assay (RRA) of [3H]-AVP from renal medulla membrane fractions. The serum concentrations of sodium, potassium, chloride, urea nitrogen and creatinine were not significantly different between the two groups. The plasma concentration of AVP in the ACEI group was higher than that in the control group. The dissociation constant (Kd) in the ACEI group was significantly lower than that in the control, although there was no significant change of maximum binding capacity (Bmax) between the two groups. We previously reported that the number of renal AVP receptors decreased in rats with diabetes insipidus which were treated with lithium, suggesting that the change in the AVP receptor is a primary cause of polyuric state induced by lithium. In the present study, the diuretic state and the decrease in blood pressure induced by cilazapril resulted in a marked decrease in the Kd of the renal AVP receptor and an increase in the plasma AVP level. It is suggested that plasma AVP and renal AVP receptors in SHR responded to the diuretic state induced by cilazapril by increasing the secretion and renal receptor affinity. We conclude that the AVP system plays an important role in the regulation of the fluid balance under diuretic conditions caused by ACE inhibitor treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":21140,"journal":{"name":"Research communications in chemical pathology and pharmacology","volume":"84 2","pages":"143-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19084077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To compare the mode of action of SnCl2 on the Ca channels in the mouse with that in the frog, we investigated the effects of SnCl2 on the inward Ca current at the nerve terminals. SnCl2 (0.1 mM) did not change the second positive component of the action potential (an outward potassium (K) current) at the terminal part of the nerve terminal. SnCl2 (0.1 mM) increased the amplitude of the prolonged negative or positive deflection (an inward Ca current) evoked by treatment with 1 mM tetraethylammonium and 0.1 mM 3,4-diaminopyridine at the terminal or preterminal part of the nerve terminal, respectively. This augmenting effect of SnCl2 was inhibited by cumulative addition of Ca channel blockers, i.e., 0.1 mM CdCl2, 5 mM NiCl2, 5 mM CoCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, or 10 mM MgCl2. From the results obtained, it has been confirmed that SnCl2 facilitates the transmitter release by enhancing the Ca influx at the nerve terminals but not by blocking the K channels and that the mode of action of SnCl2 in the mouse is identical with that in the frog.</p>","PeriodicalId":21140,"journal":{"name":"Research communications in chemical pathology and pharmacology","volume":"84 2","pages":"253-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19083979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
