Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed to modulate the renal response to protein as well as basal renal hemodynamics. We investigated whether NO and angiotensin II (AII) interact to control glomerular hemodynamics and absolute proximal tubular reabsorption (APR) during glycine infusion and in unstimulated conditions. In control rats, glycine increased single nephron GFR and plasma flow with no change in APR. The NO synthase blocker, NG-monomethyl L-arginine (LNMMA), abolished the vasodilatory response to glycine, possibly through activation of tubuloglomerular feedback due to a decrease in APR produced by LNMMA + glycine. Pretreatment with an AII receptor antagonist, DuP 753, normalized the response to glycine at both glomerular and tubular levels. In unstimulated conditions, LNMMA produced glomerular arteriolar vasoconstriction, decreased the glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient, and reduced single nephron GFR. These changes were associated with a striking decrease in APR. DuP 753 prevented both glomerular and tubular changes induced by LNMMA. In conclusion, NO represents a physiological antagonist of AII at both the glomerulus and tubule in both the basal state and during glycine infusion; and inhibition of NO apparently enhances or uncovers the inhibitory effect of AII on proximal reabsorption.
