Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on renal hemodynamics, urinary excretion of electrolytes, norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA); and renal production of renin in anesthetized dogs. Following a bolus (1 μg/kg body weight) and infusion (0.1 μg/kg/min) for 30 min, there was significant increase in urine flow (220 ± 41%), glomerular filtration rate (72 ± 14%), and urinary sodium excretion (170 ± 34%). There was a decrease in renin secretory rate and the concentration ratio of urine NE to DA following ANF was decreased (p<0.05). These data suggest that ANF decreases renal production of NE and renin.
