Renal effect of meclofenamate in presence and absence of superfusion bioassay.
Systemic blood pressure (SBP), renal blood flow (RBF), renal vascular resistance (RVR), and arterial and renal venous prostaglandin E (PGE) concentrations were determined in pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs.The effect of sodium meclofenamate infused into the renal artery was compared under two sets of conditions. In experiments carried out under control conditions, SBP, RBF, and RVR were stable and meclofenamate caused only a slight decrease in RBF (5.4%) and increase in RVR.
