Renal renin and the juxtaglomerular cells evolved in primitive bony fishes, whereas the macula densa emerged later in vertebrate phylogeny. Whether a renal arteriolar baroreceptor exists in the toadfish O. tau, which possess renin and granulated cells in the kidneys, but lack glomeruli and macula densa was studied. Cumulative hemorrhage of 1.5, 3, 6, 12 and 18 ml/kg, or a single massive bleeding from unanesthetized toadfish, kept in 50% seawater, caused an immediate and significant decrease in mean aortic pressure and stepwise increases (5-20 times) of plasma renin activity (PRA). Papaverine (10 mg/kg) caused hypotension and increased PRA. Minoxidil (6-12 mg/kg) neither decreased blood pressure nor increased PRA. Toadfish apparently respond to hemorrhage and acute hypotension with renin release despite the absence of a macula densa. It remains to be determined whether decreased renal perfusion pressure due to decreased dorsal aortic pressure stimulated the receptor in the granulated cells or whether the renal nerves may be involved.
