Abstract: | There is some controversy regarding whether stimulation of renin release by the beta-adrenergic system is dependent on prostaglandin (PG) production. We have examined this problem in renal cortical slices of the dog and have obtained the following results: (1) Isoproterenol (4 X 10(-6) M) stimulated renin release, but had no effect on the formation of 6-keto PGF1 alpha, a stable metabolite of PGI2; (2) Indomethacin (2 X 10(-5) M) had no effect on isoproterenol stimulated renin release, but inhibited 6-keto PGF1 alpha formation; (3) Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-3) M) stimulated both renin release, and 6-keto PGF1 alpha release. Indomethacin (2 X 10(-5) M) did not inhibit dibutyryl cyclic AMP-stimulated renin release, but did inhibit the production of 6 keto PGF1 alpha. These results indicate that the beta-adrenoceptor mediated renin release does not depend on the formation of PGI2, but renin release is dependent on cyclic AMP formation. |
