To examine the role of Ca channels in autoregulation of renal blood flow in response to changes of perfusion pressure, experiments were performed with perfused kidney in anesthetized dogs using a Ca channel activator, BAY K 8644, and vasoconstrictors such as noradrenaline and angiotensin II. Control observations usually showed excellent autoregulation of renal blood flow at pressures between 120 and 200 mm Hg, the autoregulatory index being less than 0.2. Verapamil (50 micrograms/min, i.a. infusion) obviously inhibited the renal autoregulation. Simultaneous infusion of 5 micrograms/min of BAY K 8644 with verapamil prevented both the increase of renal blood flow and the impairment of the autoregulation caused by verapamil. Whereas simultaneous infusion of noradrenaline (1 and 3 micrograms/min) or angiotensin II (0.1 and 0.3 micrograms/min) with verapamil dose-dependently reduced renal blood flow, these drugs could not antagonize the inhibitory effect of verapamil on autoregulation. The present experiments show that Ca channels play an important role in establishing renal autoregulation, and that a mere vasoconstriction by noradrenaline and angiotensin II is distinguished from autoregulatory performance.
