| pubmed-article:832675 | pubmed:abstractText | An intrarenal infusion of glucagon resulted in an increase of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with the same order of magnitude of renal blood flow (RBF) but did not affect the intrarenal distribution of blood flow. A superimposition of acetylcholine and glucagon decreased GFR even though RBF increased significantly. These findings indicate that the effect of glucagon on GFR depended on the selective dilation of afferent arterioles without any change in permeability of glomerular capillaries and redistribution of filtration. | lld:pubmed |
