Abstract
To investigate whether renal endothelin (ET)-1 participates in water and sodium handling, we investigated the influence of different sodium intakes on renal production of ET-1 in eight healthy subjects. The functional relationship with the reninangiotensin system was also studied. Renal ET-1 formation is affected by sodium intake, because 1 wk of high sodium decreased urinary ET-1 excretion (234%, P , 0.05), whereas a low-sodium diet increased ET-1 excretion (66%, P , 0.05) and mRNA expression for preproendothelin-1 in epithelial cells of medullary collecting ducts and endothelial cells of the peritubular capillary network. Increased ET-1 renal synthesis was associated with sodium retention and increased free water clearance. Urinary ET-1 excretion changes from normal to low-sodium diet were negatively related to contemporary changes in sodium excretion (r 5 0.97, P , 0.05) and were positively correlated with free water clearance (r 5 0.97, P , 0.05). These correlations were maintained during angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibition, which only partially reduced ET-1 renal excretion. These results indicate that renal ET-1 production is indeed modulated by varying sodium intakes and may exert a role in sodium and water handling.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
