This paper describes long term research efforts which have lead: 1) to the identification of peptides present in pepsanurin, a peptidic fraction obtained by pepsin hydrolysis of plasma globulins that inhibits the renal excretory action of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and 2) to the discovery of an unexpected role of glucose, as a requisite for these inhibitory effects. The active peptides identified in pepsanurin are derived from plasma kininogens, substrates of the kallikrein-kinin system. Pro-kinins of 15, 16 and 18 amino acids, and bradykinin itself, block ANP-induced diuresis and natriuresis when injected i.v., i.p. or into the duodenal lumen of anesthetized rats in picomol doses. Furthermore, a novel 20 amino acids fragment derived from kininogen dominium-1, named PU-D1, is the most potent and longer lasting blocker of ANP renal effects. The anti-ANP effects of those peptides are prevented by B2-kinin receptor antagonists. The inhibition of ANP by kinins and PU-D1 was evident only in rats infused with isotonic glucose; whereas the excretory effect of ANP was not affected in fasted rats not infused, or infused with saline. These findings provide evidence that glucose facilitates liquid retention through a kinin-mediated inhibition of ANP excretory action that may be related to the prandial cycle.
