| pubmed-article:2165355 | pubmed:abstractText | It has been almost 40 years since the diuretic effect of alpha-adrenoceptor agonists was first demonstrated. Two possible mechanisms were proposed: inhibition of vasopressin secretion and antagonism of the cellular hydrosmotic actions of vasopressin. The debate could not be settled then for the lack of appropriate experimental models and pharmacological tools. Advances made in adrenoceptor pharmacology in the 1970s such as 1) subdivision of alpha-adrenoceptors into alpha 1- and alpha 2-subtypes; 2) development of selective agonists and antagonists; and 3) localization of both adrenoceptor subtypes in the kidney, including the proximal and collecting tubules, stimulated new research. With regard to renal adrenoceptors, selective alpha 2-agonists have been shown to induce diuresis in dogs and rats. Whereas in the dog the increase in urine flow results mostly from an increase in osmolal clearance, in the rat the diuresis results in large part from an increase in the excretion of solute-free water. In vitro studies on isolated collecting tubules from rats and rabbits (none from dogs) have shown that alpha 2-agonists inhibit vasopressin-induced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate formation and that this effect is mediated by the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein and abolished by pertussis toxin treatment. In vivo evidence in support of such a mechanism was presented from conscious Brattleboro homozygous rats in which a selective alpha 2-agonist inhibited the antidiuretic effect of exogenous vasopressin, and this effect was abolished by pertussis toxin. The physiological importance of renal alpha 2-adrenoceptors was identified by use of adrenal medullectomized rats and the alpha 2-antagonist, yohimbine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) | lld:pubmed |
