Effect of salt-loading on prostacyclin and thromboxane metabolism in kidney]

For evaluating the role of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) in the metabolism of salt and water, the metabolic products of PGI2 and TXA2 (6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TXB2 respectively) were measured by radioimmunoassay in salt-loaded rabbits. 36 normal rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1. normal control group; 2. 3h salt-loading group (3 h group); 3. 24 h salt-loading group (24 h group). Both the 3 h and 24 h groups were given 0.9% NaCl solution by subcutaneous injection to the hind legs. The kidneys were dissected into 4 slices: outer cortex, inner cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla. The plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in the 3 h group was increased from the control value of 46.61 +/- 19.04 pg/ml to 111.63 +/- 58.36 pg/ml (P less than 0.01). All of the dissected renal slices also showed significant increase of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha synthesis in both the 3 h and the 24 h groups (P less than 0.001 vs. normal). The urinary sodium concentrations have a good correlation with 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in plasma or in kidney tissues. Plasma TXB2 in normal group was 499.27 +/- 197.86 pg/ml, but no significant change was found in the 3h group. However, in the 24 h group it decreased significantly to 218.76 +/- 114.54 pg/ml (P less than 0.05 vs. normal group). Although the TXB2 increment was significant only in inner medulla, all other dissected renal slices showed some increase of TXB2 synthesis too. It is concluded that salt-loading can cause increase of PGI1 and TXA2 synthesis in normal renal tissues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
