We studied the interaction between synthetic atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and various vasoactive substances, which included isoproterenol (ISO), aminophylline (AMI), and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dBcAMP) as vasodilators, and angiotensin II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) as vasoconstrictors, and prazosin as an alpha-blocker in isolated perfused rat kidneys (IPK). When 10(-9) mol of ANP was administered in 75 ml of a perfusate, the renal vascular resistance (RVR) was transiently decreased for 5 min, and increased thereafter. Simultaneously, ANP increased the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urine flow (UV), absolute Na excretion (UNaV) and absolute K excretion (UKV). All of the above mentioned effects of ANP were significantly inhibited by administering ISO, AMI or dBcAMP. On the other hand, the administration of AII and NE significantly enhanced the increases in UV and UNaV and the fractional excretion of Na induced by ANP, although AII and NE had no influence on the changes in RVR and GFR induced by ANP. Prazosin did not modify the renal effects of ANP. These results suggest that the natriuretic effect of ANP is inhibited by agents that increase cyclic AMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. It is also suggested that the natriuretic effects of ANP can be explained by an increase in GFR and changes in intrarenal hemodynamics, rather than by the direct effect of ANP on renal tubules.
