RESUMO
The mechanisms that mediate renal "escape" from the sodium-retaining effects of mineralocorticoids are incompletely understood. This study was undertaken to determine whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) may play a role in the escape phenomenon. Immunoreactive ANP in rat plasma increased 2.5-fold above baseline values at 12 and 24 h after a single depot injection of desoxycorticosterone acetate in oil and returned to baseline thereafter. In addition, specific pre-pro-ANP messenger RNA content in rat atria was significantly elevated as early as 12 h after mineralocorticoid administration and remained elevated at 24, 48, and 72 h, indicating a prompt and sustained increase in ANP biosynthesis. Renal glomerular ANP receptor density was down-regulated appropriately with rising plasma ANP levels, and receptor affinity was unchanged. Thus, mineralocorticoid administration in the rat is a powerful stimulus for ANP release and for atrial myocyte ANP synthesis, which suggests a potential role for this hormone in overriding mineralocorticoid-induced renal sodium retention.
