A highly sensitive oscillatory tubulo‐glomerular feedback (TGF) response has previously been demonstrated in normotensive Sprague‐Dawley rats. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether such an oscillating TGF‐response could be elicited in Wistar‐Kyoto rats (WKY) and genetically hypertensive rats (SHR) and furthermore if any differences in the TGF‐response characteristics between SHR and WKY rats could be detected. The closed loop function of the TGF‐system was studied. In 12–18‐week‐old WKY rats regular oscillations in the intratubular pressure occurred spontaneously. The median frequency were 29.7 mHz (range 20–46.7 mHz). In SHR rats, spontaneous oscillations also occurred, but these were highly irregular. Spontaneous oscillations were more frequent in WKY than in SHR (88%vs.54%). In both strains, oscillations could be elicited by free flow microperfusion with artificial tubular fluid (ATF). When furosemide was added to the ATF in a concentration of 0.1 mM, the oscillations were abolished in both strains of rats. It is concluded that, in both strains of rats, the oscillatory phenomena depend upon TGF activity. It is suggested that the irregular pattern of the oscillations observed only in SHR rats may represent a chaotic process.
