Fibrinolytic system in the dog with experimental renal (goldblatt) hypertension

Résumé Nous avons constaté, au cours de l'hypertension arterielle produite chez le chien d'après la technique deGoldblatt, l'inhibition de la fibrinolyse des euglobulines, l'augmentation considérable de fibrinogène et de plasminogène. L'intervention chirurgicale de contrôle produisit seulement une augmentation moindre de fibrinogène, sans inhibition de la fibrinolyse.

On the pathogenesis of the renoprival hypertension in dogs

Riassunto L'ipertensione arteriosa non compare nel cane nefrectomizzato bilateralmente, se non si associa la iperidratazione. La iperidratazione, peraltro, non produce ipertensione nel cane con ureteri legati. Solo nei cani renoprivi e iperidratati si ha un aumento del volume del sangue.      

Influence of sodium balance on atrial natriuretic factor in rats with one-kidney, one-clip renal hypertension

The influence of sodium intake on the gene expression and circulating levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was investigated in unanesthetized rats with one-kidney, one-clip renal hypertension. After clipping, the rats were maintained for 3 weeks either on a salt-deficient (n = 11) or a regular-sodium diet (n = 10). Animals which had received the regular-sodium diet exhibited significantly higher ANF mRNA levels in their right and left atria than salt-restricted animals, whereas there was no significant difference in plasma ANF levels.

Catecholamine content of the arterial walls in experimental hypertension

Zusammenfassung In Hunden mitGoldblatt-Hypertonie ist die Adrenalinkonzentration der Arterien stark erhöht, diejenige von Noradrenalin aber — verglichen mit den Werten der Kontrolltiere — erniedrigt. Die Adrenalinerhöhung in der Arterienwandung ist wahrscheinlich nicht die Ursache des Hochdruckes, da sie auch in Hunden ohne postoperative Blutdruckerhöhung gefunden wurde.     

On the pathogenesis of intestinal aganglionosis. A consideration based on electron microscopic observations of experimental and clinical aganglionoses

Summary A close resemblance in fine structure was observed between the aganglionic colon, produced in rats by serosal application of 0.1% benzalkonium chloride solution, and the aganglionic descending colon, or more proximal segments, of Hirschsprung's disease. The pathogenesis of the disease is discussed.     

Activity of some enzymes in experimental hypertension in the rabbit

Zusammenfassung Bei durch Nierenarterien-Drosselung nach kontralateraler Nephrektomie chronisch hypertonischen Kaninchen wird mit Antirenin regelmässig eine bestimmte hypotensive Wirkung erzeugt. Auffallend niedrige Reninblutwerte, stark herabgesetzte Monoaminoxydase-Aktivität und deutlich gesteigerte Dopadecarboxylase-Aktivität sind charakteristisch. Der Befund zeigt die Bedeutung der Niere in der Erzeugung der Blutdruckamine im Laufe einer chronischen Hypertonie.

Renal medullary hypertonicity and the pathogenesis of acute renal failure

Résumé Des rats furent protégés d'une insuffisance rénal aÏgue par une diurèse aqueuse chronique plutÔt qu'intense. L'hypotonicité de la moelle rénale est considerée comme un facteur significatif dans le développement de la détérioration rénale.     

Regulation of sodium and body fluid homeostasis during development: implications for the pathogenesis of hypertension.

The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) is an important animal model of human essential hypertension. During the first month of life, increased retention of sodium is present in the SHR which appears to be mediated by the renin-angiotensin system. The present review will discuss the role that increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system plays in sodium/body fluid regulation during early development. It is hypothesized that disordered regulation of sodium/body fluid homeostasis during this stage leads to pathological cardiovascular regulation in adulthood. Through an understanding of the relationship between sodium/body fluid balance in the young and cardiovascular function in the adult insights may be gained into both the pathological state of hypertension and the critical role played by early development in shaping homeostatic mechanisms in adulthood.

Phosphoinositide content in the erythrocyte membrane of rats with spontaneous and renal hypertension

Summary The increase of the content of triphosphoinositide in the erythrocyte membrane in rats with spontaneous and renal hypertension and decrease of phosphatidylinositol at spontaneous hypertension were revealed.     

Central adrenergic neurones and the initiation and development of experimental hypertension

Zusammenfassung Zerstörung zentraler adrenerger Neurone durch Injektion von 6-Hydroxydopamin in einen Seitenventrikel verursachte bei normotonen und genetisch hypertonen Ratten lediglich eine geringe und vorübergehende Blutdrucksenkung und beeinflusste die DOCA- und renale Hypertonie überhaupt nicht. Im Gegensatz dazu verhinderte 6-Hydroxydopamin die Entwicklung der DOCA- und renalen Hypertonie, wenn es 7–10 Tage vor deren Induktion in einen Seitenventrikel injiziert wurde. Bei genetisch hypertonen Ratten, bei denen eine allmähliche Blutdrucksteigerung schon bald nach der Geburt einsetzt, unterbrach intraventrikulär injiziertes 6-Hydroxydopamin die weitere Entwicklung der Hypertonie. Die Resultate weisen auf die Bedeutung zentraler adrenerger Neurone für die Pathogenese verschiedener experimenteller Hypertonieformen hin.

The influence of the experimental conditions on the renal response to angiotensin in the rat

Résumé Les conditions expérimentales déterminent la réponse rénale à l'angiotensine chez le rat. Antérieurement, on a seulement demontré une réponse natriurétique à cette hormone. Cependant, chez les rats chargés chroniquement de sodium, on a demontré que l'angiotensine en doses de 0,00005–0,005µg/kg/min est toujours anti-natriurétique. Après une opération récente, ou sous anesthésie ou en présence d'une déplétion de sodium, l'angiotensine à ces doses, chez les mêmes animaux, est soit sans effet ou même natriurétique.
