The effects of a single oral dose of indomethacin (1 mg kg −1 ), metoprolol (1.5 mg kg −1 ) and placebo on exercise‐induced albumin excretion rate (AER) were compared in a randomized, crossover design in 14 normotensive, young Type 1 diabetes patients, nine of them with microalbuminuria (AER > 15 μg min −1 ) and five without microalbuminuria at rest. The albumin excretion rate, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, and plasma concentrations of indomethacin and metoprolol were determined before and after 30 min submaximal physical exercise. In microalbuminuric patients the rise in albumin excretion rate after exercise on indomethacin (7 μg min −1 ) was lower than after placebo (29 μg min −1 , p < 0.001) whereas the rise in albumin excretion rate with metoprolol during exercise (18 μg min −1 ) did not differ from placebo ( p = 0.48), in spite of the expected less marked increase in blood pressure. In normoalbuminuric patients no significant increase in albumin excretion rate was noted by exercise in any of the treatment periods. A tendency to a linear correlation ( r = −0.54, p = 0.07) was seen between the plasma concentration of indomethacin and the inhibition of exercise‐induced increase in albumin excretion rate. No correlations were observed between exercise‐induced changes in albumin excretion rate and systolic blood pressure, heart rate or blood glucose. In conclusion, acute indomethacin treatment, presumably through inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis, reduces the exercise‐induced rise in albumin excretion rate in Type 1 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. Such an effect was not seen after acute administration for the beta‐1‐adrenoceptor blocking drug metoprolol, in spite of a less marked rise in blood pressure.
