title: Mechanism of dopamine inhibition of renal phosphate transport.
abstract: Dopamine (DA) is natriuretic and phosphaturic. However, whether the effect of DA on Pi reabsorption is a consequence of its effect on sodium transport is not known. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of DA on the maximal transport of phosphate (TmPi), and upon the capacity of renal proximal brush border membrane (BBM) for (Naextra-vesicular greater than Naintravesicular)-gradient-dependent transport of Pi, as compared with the transport of other solutes. Graded infusions of Pi (0, 1, 2, and 3 mumols/min) were given to thyroparathyroidectomized male Sprague-Dawley rats in the presence of vehicle (0.9% NaCl; N = 5), DA 15 micrograms/kg/min; N = 6), or parathyroid hormone ((PTH); 1 U/kg/min; N = 5). The TmPi for rats infused with DA (3.3 +/- 0.3 mumol/mL) was significantly less than the TmPi for saline control rats (4.4 +/- 0.2 mumol/mL). Rats infused with PTH exhibited the lowest TmPi (1.8 +/- 0.3 mumol/mL). No differences in sodium excretion were observed among any of the groups. Na-dependent Pi transport was studied in BBM vesicles (BBMV) prepared from rats fed a low-phosphate diet for 2 days that were anesthetized, acutely thyroparathyroidectomized, and systemically infused with DA (350 micrograms bolus, plus 35 micrograms/kg/min; N = 8), PTH (33 U/kg bolus, followed by a continuous infusion of 1 U/kg/min; N = 6), or vehicle (1 mL/kg bolus, plus 2 mL/h constant infusion of 0.9% NaCl; N = 8) for 90 min. DA significantly inhibited the Na cotransport of Pi by 22.4 +/- 4.1% (P less than 0.01) as compared with the control group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
