The present study was designed to take advantage of telemetry data acquisition and develop an easy and reliable system to servocontrol renal perfusion pressure (RPP). Digitized pressure signals from lower abdominal aorta in rats, reflecting RPP, was obtained by a telemetry device and dynamically exported into an Excel worksheet. A computer program (LabVIEW) compared the RPP data with a preselected pressure range and drove a bidirectional syringe pump to control the inflation of a vascular occluder around the aorta above renal arteries. When RPP was higher than the preselected range, the syringe pump inflated the occluder and decreased RPP, and vice versa. If RPP was within range, there was no action. In this way, RPP was servocontrolled within the desired range. In experiments with norepinephrine- or ANG II-induced acute increases in systemic arterial pressure (120-145 mmHg), the system controlled RPP at a constant range of 100-105 mmHg within 30-50 s and differentiated the pressure-dependent and -independent effects on renal functions. In Dahl S rats with high-salt-induced hypertension, this system maintained RPP at 100-120 mmHg over 10 days, while systemic arterial pressures were 150 +/- 5.9 mmHg in uncontrolled animals. This system also has the ability of simultaneity and multiplexing to control multiple animals. Our results suggest that this is an effective and reliable system to servocontrol RPP, which can be easily established with general computer knowledge. This system provides a powerful tool and may greatly facilitate the studies in pressure-dependent/-independent effects of a variety of cardiovascular factors.
