Abstract: | Cardiovascular hemodynamics, including renal blood flow, were measured in rabbits with one intact and one denervated kidney during various intensities of treadmill exercise. Within the first 10 s of exercise, there was rapid vasoconstriction in the innervated kidney associated with decreases in renal blood flow (range -10 to -17%). The vasoconstriction in the innervated kidney was evident at all workloads and was intensity dependent. There was no significant vasoconstriction or change in renal blood flow (range 0.5 to -3.1%) in the denervated kidney at the onset of exercise. However, a slowly developing vasoconstriction occurred in the denervated kidney as exercise progressed to 2 min at all workloads. Examination of responses to exercise performed under alpha-adrenergic blockade with phentolamine (5 mg/kg iv) revealed that the vasoconstriction in the innervated kidney at the onset of exercise and the delayed vasoconstriction in the denervated kidney were due primarily to activation of alpha-adrenergic receptors. In addition, a residual vasoconstriction was also present in the innervated kidney after alpha-adrenergic blockade, suggesting that, during exercise, activation of other renal vasoconstrictor mechanisms occurs which is dependent on the presence of renal nerves. |
