title: Effect of salt loading in the rat on adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase activity in kidney cortex, medulla and papilla.
abstract: Adenylate cyclase (AC) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities were studied in the cortex, medulla and papilla of the rat kidney. Sodium loading in vivo for 14 days resulted in a decrease of AC activity in the cortex, a small increase in the medulla and a substantial increase of AC activity in the papilla. Sodium loading caused reciprocal effects on PDE activity: an increase in kidney cortex and a decrease in kidney papilla. Loading of glucose in vivo or chronic administration of antidiuretic hormone in vivo did not cause the changes in AC or PDE observed after sodium loading. The possible significance of these findings is discussed.
