Properties of systemically applied angiotensin II in stimulating water intake of normally hydrated ducks were studied and the results compared with properties of angiotensin II-responsive neurons of the subfornical organ which are considered as targets for circulating angiotensin, II acting as a dipsogen. Following intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline (2000 mosmol·kg-1 at 0.3 ml·min-1 for 1 h), intravenous infusion of 0.3 ml·min-1 isotonic saline with angiotensin II (200 ng·min-1), starting 1 h later, stimulated drinking in each case at an angiotensin II plasma level of about 1400 pg·ml-1. Without hypertonic priming, the same angiotensin II infusion did not stimulate drinking in each experiment; however, if effective, repeated infusions of ANGII induced stable dipsogenic responses. Angiotensin II infusions did not alter plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone. Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II, a non-selective angiotensin II antagonist, acted weakly as a partial agonist when injused at a dose 200-fold higher than angiotensin II and effectively blocked the dipsogenic action of angiotensin II; this corresponds to the inhibition of angiotensin II-induced excitation by Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II observed in duck subfornical organ neurons. DuP 753 (losartan), an angiotensin II antagonist specifically blocking AT1 receptors in mammals, had equivocal effects on angiotensin II-induced drinking in ducks at rates 50- and 200-fold higher than angiotensin II, which corresponds to the weak inhibitory action of this compound on angiotensin II-induced neuronal excitation in the duck SFO. Blood pressure was only marginally elevated by the applied angiotensin II dose and Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II had no effect.Abbreviations

The responsiveness of spontaneously active neurons in the subfornical organ (SFO) of adult ducks to angiotensin II (ANGII) and the bird specific anti-diuretic hormone, arginine vasotocin (AVT), the analog of the mammalian arginine vasopressin (AVP), were investigated in brain slices with extracellular recording technique. 65% (n = 66) of the neurons increased their activity after superfusion with ANGII, the rest were unresponsive. Application of AVT activated 52% (n = 68) of the investigated neurons and like ANGII never caused an inhibition of the spontaneously active SFO neurons. A close correlation exists between the ANGII and AVT sensitivity of duck SFO neurons, because 29 out of 33 neurons were excited by AVT as well as ANGII. The relatively weak antagonistic effect of the V1-type receptor antagonist Pmp-Tyr (Me)-Arg8-vasopressin on the AVT induced excitation suggests a different pharmacology of the bird AVT receptor as compared to the mammalian AVP receptor. The excitatory response of ANGII and AVT on the very same neurons suggest a similar function of both peptides on SFO mediated effects in vivo, such as an increase in water intake. However, peripheral AVT concentrations, unlike ANGII concentrations in the blood are not high enough to activate SFO neurons from the blood side of the blood brain barrier. Therefore AVT is presumably released from synapses of neurons originating within or projecting to the SFO. The identity of the ANGII and AVT reactive neurons suggests that synaptically released AVT should facilitate SFO mediated drinking.Abbreviations

Summary Renal clearance experiments were conducted on feral chickens descended from birds collected from a coral island off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Following a control period when 0.13 M NaCl was used as a vehicle for the renal function markers, a salt load was imposed by infusion of 1 M NaCl. The hypertonic NaCl infusion resulted in increases in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), effective renal blood flow (ERBF), and urine flow rate (V), whereas filtration fraction decreased. Haematocrit was reduced and plasma osmolality, sodium, chloride and potassium concentrations increased. Plasma arginine vasotocin (PAVT) levels increased from 31.4±2.3 pg·ml-1 during the control infusion to 56.0±1.7 pg·ml-1 following a salt load of 12 mmol Nacl·kg-1 The sensitivity of release of AVT was 0.69±0.11 pg·ml-1 per mosmol·kg-1. The concentrations of Na and Cl in urine increased, whereas urine osmolality and potassium concentration decreased. The expansion of the extracellular fluid volume induced by the salt loading would tend to suppress the release of AVT, whereas the osmotic stimulus would provide a stimulus for the release of AVT. In this study, GFR, ERBF and ERPF increased at the same time as PAVT increased.Abbreviations AVP

Renal function and osmoregulation were studied in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) raised with unrestricted water (chronically unrestricted group) or restricted water (chronically restricted group). There was no difference in urine concentrating ability between adult and juvenile (3.5 or 7.5 week-old) quail. A filtration marker (polyethylene glycol) was infused into adult quail via osmotic minipumps and responses to the following regimens studied: ad libitum water intake, short-term (4-day) water restriction, and acute (1-day) dehydration (withdrawal of all drinking water). Chronically restricted quail had higher urine-to-plasma ratios of polyethylene glycol and lower urine flow rates during short-term restriction. A greater proportion of the reduction in urine flow rate during dehydration was attributable to enhanced tubular reabsorption, rather than reduced rates of filtration, in chronically restricted than in chronically unrestricted birds. Chronically restricted birds also had higher maximum urine-to-plasma ratios of polyethylene glycol (but not higher urine osmolality). These differences occurred in the face of arginine vasotocin concentrations that were not different in the two groups of birds (approximately 15 pg·ml-1 during hydration, and 45 pg·ml-1 during water restriction or dehydration). These observations suggest that chronically restricted quail have an enhanced responsiveness of tubular reabsorption to dehydration, a finding consistent with previous observations of tubule hypertrophy and hyperplasia in these birds (Goldstein and Ellis 1991). Despite this, no difference was found in medullary cAMP levels, either basal or arginine vastotocin-or forskolin-stimulated, in the two groups. When given water ad libitum, chronically restricted quail drank copiously (more than two times the drinking rate of chronically unrestricted birds rehydrating from acute dehydration or short-term water restriction), but glomerular filtration rate, hematocrit, and plasma osmolality did not differ in the two groups under this condition; chronically restricted quail excreted the excess water consumed during rehydration in a copious urine accomplished by reduced tubular water reabsorption.Abbreviations ADH

Summary A homogeneous group of 8-week-old Pekin ducks was divided into two groups: saltwater (SW) ducks received salt water of gradually increasing salinity (200–600 mOsm·kg-1) from the 8th to 20th week of age; freshwater (FW) ducks were maintained on fresh water but otherwise treated identically. During the course of salt-adaptation SW ducks increased plasma osmolality, Na+ and Cl- levels, and concentrations of the osmoregulatory peptide hormones arginine vasotocin and angiotensin II. The apparent volume of inulin distribution decreased in SW ducks, but blood volume was not reduced. SW ducks also developed arterial hypotension, bradycardia, and reduced cardiac output in the course of salt adaptation. This depressed cardiovascular performance was associated with enhanced vagal restraint of cardiac function and reduced plasma concentrations of norepinephrine. Salt water adaptation did not alter the degrees to which mean arterial pressure and heart rate changed in response to intravenous bolus injections of catecholamines. The same applied to the osmoregulatory peptides which were, however, effective only at supraphysiological concentrations. The Pekin duck, as a bird predisposed for adaptation to high salt loads, presumably adapts to chronic hypertonic saline intake by resetting the central autonomic control of blood pressure to a lower level.Abbreviations

The function of the supra-orbital salt gland was studied in the common eider duck (Somateria mollissima). The maximum salt-secreting capacity was determined in (1) wild ducks which had been living in a marine environment, (2) ducks reared in captivity on fresh water, and (3) ducks from group 2 adapted to salt water. The maximum secreting capacity was found by infusing a solution of NaCl (1000 mosmol·kg-1) at increasing rates, from 0.691 to 1.671 mosmol·min-1. Freshwater-adapted ducks secreted at a maximum rate of 0.785 mosmol·min-1 (1500 mosmol·kg-1). Adapted to salt water they increased their capacity, and the best duck secreted at a rate of 1215 mosmol·min-1 (1600 mosmol·kg-1). The best wild duck secreted at a rate of 1516 mosmol·min-1. Ducks in group 3 were used to examine the response to a hyperosmotic or an isoosmotic infusion. The amount of salt (NaCl) given per unit time was the same. Given a hyperosmotic solution their salt glands secreted at a high rate: 30 min after the infusion had stopped the ducks had excreted 94% of the sodium infused, 92.9% via the salt gland. Given an isoosmotic solution they secreted at a rate about half the infusion rate: 30 min after cessation of infusion they had excreted 73% of the sodium, 42.9% via the salt gland and the rest by the kidneys.Abbreviations

Plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentrations in Rhode Island red hens averaged 72.1±6.9 pg·ml-1, range 33.4–136.0 pg·ml-1. The intravenous infusion of isotonic saline containing 3% dextran for 2 h produced no significant changes in plasma osmotic or electrolyte concentrations; however, haematocrit changes indicated vascular expansions of 14.4% after 1 h and 21.3% after 2 h and plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentrations were elevated by 190% and 257%, respectively. The intravenous infusion of chicken atrial natriuretic factor at rates of 10, 25, 50 and 100 ng·kg-1·min-1 for 20 min produced levels of plasma atrial natriuretic factor that were directly related to the infusion rate and which, in birds undergoing a steady-state diuresis/natriuresis driven by the intravenous infusion of isotonic saline at 1 ml·min-1, produced dose-dependent increases of 19, 26, 38 and 55% in urine flow rate and of 8, 30, 49 and 77% in sodium excretion. Potassium excretion was significantly increased only at the two highest atrial natriuretic factor infusion rates. The observed correlation between plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentration and vascular volume together with the atrial natriuretic factor-induced modulation of renal salt and water elimination is consistent with the concept that in the chicken this peptide has a physiological role as a regulatory hormone in volume homeostasis.Abbreviations AII

The relationship between body temperature (T
b) and the plasma concentrations of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and angiotensin II (AII) was examined in conscious, adult Pekin
ducks. Exposure of birds to an ambient temperature of 40 °C for 3 h increased T
b by about 1.5 °C and increased breathing rate five-fold. Plasma osmolality was elevated from the normothermic value of 294.9 ± 1.4
mosmol kg−1 by about 8 mosmol kg−1 Circulating AVT levels increased by about 2 pg ml−1 from a basal concentration of 4.98 ± 0.15 pg ml−1, a rise which could be accounted for by the change in osmotic status. Plasma AII concentrations were unchanged from the pre-heat
exposure value of 31.8 ± 3.4 pg ml−1. Time control birds, exposed only to an ambient temperature of 22 °C demonstrated no significant changes in any of the measured
variables. The results suggest that an increased T
b has no direct effect on the circulating concentrations of AVT or AII in ducks.

Summary Renal function was measured in an Australian parrot, the galah (Cacatua roseicapilla), which is distributed across the most arid regions of the continent. Renal function was assessed by the constant infusion technique in hydrated galahs, and in both hydrated and dehydrated birds by means of osmotic minipumps. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the galah is similar to calculated values for a bird of its size. However, effective renal plasma flow tended to be low and therefore filtration fraction was high. Water deprivation for a period of 5 days caused a decrease in body weight and an increase in plasma osmolality and haematocrit. The GFR declined steadily such that weight-specific GFR on the fifth day of water deprivation was 68% of control values. The water deprivation produced a 2.6-fold elevation of plasma arginine vasotocin (AVT) levels, with an overall sensitivity of release of AVT of 0.16±0.02 pg·ml-1 per mOsm·kg-1. The galah possesses renal mechanisms which enable it to conserve significant amounts of water during times of water stress.Abbreviations

The present study was designed to determine whether the responses of the avian kidney to circulating angiotensin II, under different osmotic conditions, involve an interaction with prostaglandins. The renal effects of i.v. infusions of angiotensin II at 10, 30 and 90 ng·kg·min-1 for 30 min were compared in Pekin ducks given maintenance infusions of either 200 mosmol ·l-1 NaCl or glucose at 0.5 ml·min-1, with and without prostaglandin inhibition by indomethacin. Birds infused with glucose without indomethacin responded to the two low doses of angiotensin II with dose-dependent reductions in water and sodium excretion, whilst the same doses of angiotensin II in salineloaded birds caused dose-dependent increases in the renal exeretion of salt and fluid. Indomethacin treatment in the animals given glucose had no effect upon the antidiuretic response to the low doses of angiotensin II but did prevent the antinatriuretic effect. In the birds infused with saline, prostaglandin inhibition reversed the natriuretic/diuretic action of angiotensin II, producing renal salt and water conservation. The highest dose of angiotensin II was consistently diuretic/natriuretic and independent of prostaglandin involvement in each case. The results indicate that the antinatriuretic effect of low doses of angiotensin II in glucose-infused birds involves an interaction with prostaglandins, whereas the antidiuretic effect of angiotensin II under this condition is independent of prostaglandins. In salt-loaded birds the diuretic/natriuretic actions of low doses of angiotensin II are mediated by prostaglandins so that inhibition of prostaglandin formation unmasks the normal salt and fluid-retaining actions of systemic angiotensin II.Abbreviations

The present study was designed to determine whether the responses of the avian kidney to circulating arginine vasotocin (AVT), under different osmotic conditions, involve an interaction with prostaglandins (PGs). The renal effects of intravenously infused AVT at a dose of 0.1 ng.kg–1.min–1 for 45 min were compared in Pekin ducks given maintenance infusions of either 200 mosmol NaCl or glucose at 1 ml.min–1, with and without PG inhibition by indomethacin. Birds infused with glucose responded with similar degrees of AVT-induced antidiuresis with and without indomethacin, however the urinary excretion of sodium was significantly reduced when PG production was prevented. In ducks receiving saline without indomethacin, the antidiuretic response to AVT was markedly less than that in the glucose-infused birds, however, indomethacin treatment increased the degree of antidiuresis to a level similar to that in the glucose-infused ducks. The results indicate that PGs have important renotropic actions in birds and in particular modulate the antidiuretic effect of AVT in salt- and volume-loaded animals.Abbreviations ANP atrial natriuretic peptide - AVT arginine vasotocin - PGs prostaglandinsCommunicated by I.D.

Summary The amphibian antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasotocin, stimulated osmotic water flow across isolated skin from the pelvic but not the pectoral skin of the toad, Bufo woodhouseii. Changes in the apical membrane capacitance were not observed for either region of the skin following treatment with arginine vasotocin when there was an osmotic gradient across the tissue. In the absence of an osmotic pressure gradient, the apical membrane capacitance of the pelvic skin increased from 2.8±0.5 to 3.3±0.6 F · cm-2 after treatment with 5 · 10-8
M arginine vasotocin. Under these conditions, apical membrane capacitance of the pectoral skin was 1.8±0.1 F · cm-2 and did not change significantly after arginine vasotocin treatment. The amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current across the pelvic skin was stimulated by arginine vasotocin as was the density of channels in the apical membrane as determined by fluctuation analysis. Values for channel density in the pelvic skin also correlated with apical membrane capacitance and increased from 90 to 273 channels per m2 of estimated membrane area following arginine vasotocin treatment. In the pectoral skin the stimulation of short-circuit current following arginine vasotocin treatment was small and an increase in channel density could not be demonstrated. The current through single Na+ channels in both regions of the skin did not different either before or after arginine vasotocin treatment.Abbreviations A

The effects of dehydration and hemorrhage on plasma ionic, osmotic, and antidiuretic hormone (arginine vasotocin) concentrations and of hemorrhage on salt gland secretion and glomerular filtration rate were evaluated in glaucous-winged gulls, Larus glaucescens. Dehydration for 24 h did not affect plasma ionic, osmotic or arginine vasotocin concentrations; 72 h dehydration significantly elevated plasma osmolality, plasma sodium and chloride concentrations, and plasma arginine vasotocin concentration, but did not affect plasma potassium concentration. Constant infusion of 0.8 mol·l-1 NaCl increased plasma arginine vasotocin concentration and produced salt gland secretion in seven gulls; four secreted well, while three secreted less well. Removal of 20% blood volume during saline infusion immediately reduced (P<0.001) salt gland secretion rate in all gulls. After bleeding, good secretors maintained glomerular filtration rate and urine flow rate; the poorer secretors increased glomerular filtration rate and became diuretic. Blood replacement returned salt gland secretion rate to the prebleeding level (P<0.05) without affecting salt gland secretions sodium concentration in gulls which secreted well, but did not restimulate salt gland secretion in gulls which secreted poorly. Reinfusion of blood had no effect on glomerular filtration rate. Bleeding and blood replacement did not affect plasma arginine vasotocin concentration.Abbreviations AVT

Vasopressin and nonmammalian hormone vasotocin are known to increase the water permeability of mammalian collecting ducts, frog skin and the urinary bladder. Neurohypophysial nonapeptides have also been shown to interfere with the regulation of renal ion transport. The subject of this study was a search for vasopressin and vasotocin analogues with selective effects on renal water, sodium and potassium excretion. During this study, we synthesised the following peptides: 13 vasotocin analogues modified at positions 4 (Thr or Arg), 7 (Gly or Leu) and 8 (d ‐Arg, Lys or Glu); 4 vasopressin analogues modified at positions 4 and 8; and 9 peptides shortened or extended at the C‐terminal or with substitutions for Gly‐NH2. Most of these peptides had mercaptopropionic acid (Mpa) instead of Cys in position 1. The effects of these nonapeptides on renal water, sodium and potassium transport were evaluated in in vivo experiments using Wistar rats. Some nonapeptides possessed antidiuretic, natriuretic and kaliuretic activities ([Mpa1]‐arginine vasotocin, [Mpa1, homoArg8]‐vasotocin, [Mpa1, Thr4]‐arginine vasotocin and [Mpa1, Arg4]‐arginine vasopressin). Substitutions at positions 4 and 8 increased the selectivity of peptide actions. The antidiuretic [d ‐Arg8]‐vasotocin analogues had no effects on sodium excretion. [Mpa1, Arg4]‐arginine vasotocin was antidiuretic and kaliuretic but not natriuretic. [Mpa1, Glu8]‐oxytocin had weak natriuretic activity without any effects on water and potassium transport. In accordance with the data obtained, synthesised vasotocin analogues could be good candidates for pharmaceuticals selectively regulating renal sodium and potassium transport, which is of clinical importance.

Summary The intestinal caeca reabsorb urinary sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (Rice and Skadhauge 1982). Free water may be generated if the reabsorbed NaCl is secreted via salt gland secretion (Schmidt-Nielsen et al. 1958). Therefore ceacal ligation should (a) reduce hingut NaCl and water reabsorption, (b) enhance the increase in plasma osmolality during saline acclimation, and (c) affect drakes more than ducks. Twelve Pekin drakes and 13 Pekin ducks, Anas platyrhynchos, were caecally ligated or sham operated before acclimation to 450 mmol · 1 NaCl. Body mass, hematocrit, plasma osmolality, and inonic concentrations of plasma, cloacal fluid, and salt gland secretion were measured after each increase in drinking water salinity. Osmoregulatory organ masses were determined. Caecal ligation did not effect plasma osmolality or ion concentrations of plasma, cloacal fluid, or salt gland secretion, but reduced salt gland size in ducks. Drakes and ducks drinking fresh water had the same hematocrit, plasma osmolality, and plasma concentrations of Na+ and Cl–. In both sexes exposure to 75 mmol · 1-1 NaCl significantly decreased plasma [Na+] and doubled cloacal fluid [Na+]. Exposure to 450 mmol · 1-1 NaCl decreased body mass and increased hematocrit, plasma [Na+], [Cl–], and plasma osmolality (more in drakes than in ducks); cloacal fluid osmolality nearly doubled compared to freshwater-adapted ducks, due mainly to osmolytes other than Na+ and Cl–. The [Cl–] in salt gland secretion only slightly exceeded drinking water [Cl–].Abbreviations

The Japanese quail drinks water vigorously after water deprivation, haemorrhage and administration of hypertonic saline solution. Most avian species responded to angiotensin II (AII) by drinking, but carnivorous birds and those originating in arid regions were insensitive. The receptive sites for AII were the subfornical organ (SFO) and the preoptic area (POA) in the Japanese quail. Catecholaminergic fibers proceed from the POA to the SFO. Dipsogenic information generated by AII at the POA is transferred to the SFO through the catecholaminergic nerve fibres. Plasma AII increased following dehydration and haemorrhage and returned to a normal level immediately after rehydration. Following dehydration, arginine vasotocin, aldosterone and corticosterone increased in plasma as well as AII. A single intraperitoneal injection of AII induced increases of arginine vasotocin, aldosterone and corticosterone in plasma. It seems that AII functions as a trigger for release of these other hormones during dehydration. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that angiotensin II (ANG II) increases glucose utilization in the subfornical organ and stimulates drinking behavior. We investigated with the deoxyglucose method whether atriopeptin III, an atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), would prevent this enhanced glucose metabolism and interfere with the drinking response in the presence of ANG II. Two rat models with high circulating levels of ANG II were studied: the homozygous Brattleboro and ANG II-infused Sprague-Dawley rats. ANP decreased the normally enhanced glucose utilization in the subfornical organ in the Brattleboro rat and inhibited ANG II-stimulated glucose metabolism in the subfornical organ of Sprague-Dawley rats. This effect was accompanied by decreased ANG II-stimulated water intake. These findings indicate that ANP may act at the level of subfornical organ to antagonize the dipsogenic action of ANG II. 相似文献

The responsiveness of spontaneously active neurons in the subfornical organ (SFO) of adult ducks to angiotensin II (ANGII), norepinephrine (NE), isoproterenol (Iso, -agonist), phenylephrine (Phe,
1-agonist) and clonidine (Clo,
2-agonist) was investigated in brain slices with extracellular recording technique. 64% (n=90) of the neurons increased their activity after superfusion with ANGII, the rest were unresponsive. Application of NE activated 10 and inhibited 8 neurons (n=22); the excitation being correlated with an excitatory ANGII responsiveness of the same neurons and the inhibition with the absence of an ANGII responsiveness. Iso activated 74% (n=58) and Clo inhibited 88% (n=16) of the investigated neurons. Phe did not have an effect on the majority (60%) of the neurons and produced both excitatory and inhibitory actions on the remaining cells. These results offer a plausible explanation for the dose dependent dipsogenic effect of Iso and the failure of NE to elicit dose dependent drinking, which can be explained by its dual, excitatory and inhibitory effect on SFO neurons. It is further concluded, that peripherally applied Iso exerts its dipsogenic action in high concentration by a direct excitatory effect on SFO neurons via the open blood brain barrier. Under physiological conditions, afferent neuronal input of still unknown origin might specifically modulate the activity of SFO neurons, because plasma concentrations of NE are probably not high enough to activate SFO neurons from the blood side of the blood brain barrier.Abbreviations

Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is a neurotransmitter in the amphibian central nervous system and is released from the neurohypophysis in the regulation of hydromineral balance and other homeostatic functions. Many amphibians experience drastic changes in habitat with respect to water availability during their transformation from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults. To examine whether metamorphosis is accompanied by a reorganization of central vasotocinergic neurons, the developmental organization of vasotocin neurons and nerve fibers was studied with immunocytochemistry in the brains of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) and woodfrogs (R. sylvatica). In bullfrogs, early limb-bud-stage tadpoles had AVT-immunoreactive neurons and nerve fibers in the lateral septal nucleus, amygdala, preoptic hypothalamus, suprachiasmatic nucleus, and posterodorsal tegmentum. Woodfrog larvae showed similar patterns of hypothalamic AVT immunoreactivity, although neuronal staining in the amygdala did not appear until metamorphic climax, and never appeared in septal neurons or in the posterodorsal tegmentum. Whereas the highly terrestrialR. sylvatica adults must adapt to an adult habitat with prolonged periods of dehydration,R. catesbeiana adults remain semiaquatic and, as such, need not develop extreme mechanisms for water retention. Nonetheless, vasotocinergic pathways showed developmental similarities in the two species. The early appearance of AVT innervation in bothRana suggests that AVT has neuroregulatory functions well before metamorphosis. 相似文献

Summary The distribution of mesotocin and vasotocin was studied in the brain of the lizard Gekko gecko with antisera specific for either peptide. Both mesotocinergic and vasotocinergic perikarya are found in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus, whereas vasotocinergic neurons are exclusively present in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and in a cell group of the rhombencephalon. The distributional pattern of the mesotocinergic fibers corresponds closely to that of the vasotocinergic fibers. However, throughout the entire brain the mesotocinergic innervation is less dense than the vasotocinergic innervation. No sex differences are present in the mesotocinergic fiber system.Abbreviations
