There is evidence for an interaction between nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET) at the level of the renal vasculature. We hypothesized that acute renal effects of systemic NO synthase inhibition (N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine, L-NMMA) may be blunted by coadministration of a specific ETA receptor antagonist (BQ-123) in healthy humans. Fifteen healthy young male subjects participated in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-way crossover study. These sodium-repleted volunteers received L-NMMA alone, or BQ-123 alone, or L-NMMA with a subsequent coinfusion of BQ-123. Renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were determined with the PAH and inulin clearance method, respectively. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate were measured noninvasively at baseline and every 15 min after the start of the study period. L-NMMA, alone reduced RPF (-22%, P < 0.001) and GFR (-8%, P < 0.009) and increased MAP (+10%, P < 0.001). BQ-123 alone did not affect these parameters. However, coinfusion of BQ-123 blunted the effects of L-NMMA on RPF (P < 0.001), GFR (P < 0.001), and MAP (P = 0.006). Peripheral and renal hemodynamic effects of acute systemic NO synthase inhibition are at least partially reversed by ETA receptor blockade with BQ-123. This indicates a functional antagonism between specific ETA receptor antagonist and NO synthase inhibitors at the level of the renal vasculature. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
