To determine if the usual natriuretic response to ANP could be altered by raising intrarenal levels of adenosine, ANP was administered to normal anesthetized dogs at 100 ng.kg-1.min-1 i.v. before and after the administration of adenosine (3 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) into the left renal artery (n = 8). For each kidney, the group mean delta UNaV in response to ANP was unchanged by the presence of adenosine. However, following intrarenal infusion of adenosine, this unaltered average response for the infused kidney was achieved by either attenuation or exaggeration of the natriuresis to ANP in half the dogs, respectively. When intrarenal levels of extracellular adenosine were elevated by the i.v. infusion of dipyridamole in seven dogs, there was uniform exaggeration of an ANP-induced natriuresis by an average of 145 mu equiv./min. The provision of theophylline by itself (an adenosine antagonist) had no effect on UNaV but prevented the dipyridamole-induced exaggerated natriuresis to ANP. The infusion of adenosine deaminase into one renal artery reduced the natriuretic response to ANP. We conclude that elevated intrarenal levels of adenosine will exaggerate an ANP-induced natriuresis possibly by altering intracytosolic Ca2+.
