title: Atrial-natriuretic-peptide receptors in glomerular cryosections of renal malignant and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
abstract: ANP-receptors affinities (KD) and capacities (Bmax) were assayed in cryosections of glomeruli from 'malignant' hypertensive rats (2K-1C) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (PHR). Plasma ANP concentration was twofold higher in 2K-1C (P < 0.05) and PHR (P < 0.02) than in the respective controls, KD and Bmax for rANP99-126 and ANP103-123 did not differ. ANP mediated cGAMP release in 2K-1C rats was also unaffected. ANP-C glomerular receptors (i.e. displacement of tracer binding with ANP103-123) were not down-regulated and had unchanged peptide binding affinity in either kidney of rats with 'malignant' hypertension and in PHR. The difference between Bmax for rANP99-126 and Bmax for rANP103-123 (ANP-A receptor binding) indicates moderate up-regulation of ANP-A receptors in the clipped, and down-regulation in the contralateral kidney of 2K-1C (2K-1C, right vs. left, P < 0.05). Since [ANP]pl, and also Bmax and KD for ANP were similar in both hypertension models investigated, changes of the [ANP]pl/ANP-receptor system can not completely explain the marked natriuresis of rats with 'malignant' hypertension.
