  • Title: Effect of calcium antagonist, manidipine hydrochloride, on renal hemodynamics and tubuloglomerular feedback in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

    Journal: Am Heart J; 1993 Feb; 125(2 Pt 2):578-81. PubMed ID: 8430603.
    Abstract:
    The effects of a calcium antagonist, manidipine, on renal hemodynamics and the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism were examined in 7- to 8-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs). Manidipine, 10 micrograms/kg intravenously, reduced blood pressure only in SHRs. A greater increase in renal plasma flow occurred in SHRs, but effects on GFR were observed in both SHR and WKY rats. Filtration fraction decreased only in SHRs. The TGF response curve in SHRs was shifted to the left compared with that in WKY rats, indicating a more active TGF in hypertensive rats. Manidipine infusion produced a right and upward shift of the feedback curve in SHRs and only an upward shift in WKY rats. We conclude that manidipine corrects hyperactivity of the TGF mechanism in SHRs.
