Methods Two-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats were pre-pared by placing a 0.25-mm silver clip on the left renal artery of 80 to 110 g Sprague-Dawley male rats (Charles River Breeding Laboratories, Wilmington, Maryland). The clipping procedure was performed under pentobarbitol anesthesia (5.0 mgIlOO g, ip) 3 to 4 weeks prior to the experiments. All rats were fed with commercial rat chow (Wayne Lab Blox, Chicago, Illinois) containing 0.5 mEq sodium per gram of chow and were given tap water ad libitum.The acute experiments were carried out within week 4 postclipping at which time the hypertensive rats weighed 200 to 290 g. Rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbitol (5.0 mgIlOO g, ip). The surgical preparations were similar to those described previously [21. Briefly, rats were prepared for clearance experiments on a heated table and body temperature was maintained at 37 C by a thermostatic system monitoring the rectal temperature. The trachea was cannulated and an external jugular vein catheter was inserted for infusion of solutions and drugs. The left femoral artery was catheterized for blood sampling and measurement of blood pressure using a Statham P23Dc transducer (Gould-Statham Instruments Inc., Hato Rey, Puerto Rico) and a P7 Grass polygraph (Grass Instrument Co., Quincy, Massachusetts). Through a lateral approach, the left (clipped) kidney was exposed and placed in a cup (Lucite®). The left ureter and the urinary bladder were catheterized for sequential collection of urine from both kidneys. The fibrous tissue surrounding the silver clip on the left renal artery was carefully dissected free without damaging the renal artery or causing bleeding. This approach allowed the clip to be removed easily later in the experiment. During the surgical operation, rats were infused with isotonic saline at a rate of 0.02 mi/mm. Upon completing the surgery, a priming dose of a mixed solution of polyfructosan (mutest®, 10 gIdl, Laevosan-Gesellschaft, Linz, Austria) and para-aminohip-purate (PAH, 2 g/dl, Merck Sharp and Dohme, West Point, Pennsylvania) was administered and followed by a sustaining infusion at a rate of 0.01 ml/min. To maintain the total volume infusion rate constant, the saline infusion rate was decreased to 0.01 ml/min. Rats were allowed to reach a steady state for 30 mm, and then urine samples were collected using 30-mm clearance periods. Blood samples were taken at the midpoint of each period. Plasma was separated and blood cells were returned to the animals.
