The effect of intravenous infusion of endothelin-1 (ET-1) at a rate of 1 pmol.min-1.kg-1 for 60 min (n = 9) or placebo (n = 9) was investigated in 18 healthy human volunteers with a mean age of 30 yr. In response to ET-1 infusion, concentration of ET-1 increased from 0.88 +/- 0.27 to 10.73 +/- 4.79 (SD) pmol/l. Diastolic blood pressure increased by 7.8% (P < 0.01) and heart rate decreased by 14.0% (P < 0.01), whereas systolic blood pressure did not change. Renal plasma flow decreased by 34.7%, glomerular filtration rate decreased by 16.1%, and renal vascular resistance increased by 66.0% (P < 0.01 all). Urinary sodium excretion decreased by 57.9% and urinary flow rate by 40.2% (P < 0.01 for both). As judged from the clearance of lithium, we found that ET-1 did not change absolute reabsorption of sodium and water in the proximal tubules, but in the distal tubules absolute reabsorption of both sodium and water decreased significantly. Plasma concentrations of angiotensin II, aldosterone, arginine vasopressin, and atrial natriuretic peptide did not change in response to ET-1 infusion. It is suggested that ET-1 at plasma concentrations found in certain pathophysiological conditions in humans may influence renal perfusion and renal sodium and water excretion.
