| Abstract | Renal medullary superoxide (O2 −) increases in angiotensin (Ang) II-dependent hypertension. O2 − increases thick ascending limb Na transport, but the effect of Ang II–dependent hypertension on the thick ascending limb is unknown. We hypothesized that Ang II–dependent hypertension increases thick ascending limb NaCl transport because of enhanced O2 − production and increased protein kinase C (PKC) α activity. We measured the effect of Ang II–dependent hypertension on furosemide-sensitive oxygen consumption (a measure of Na transport), O2 − production, and PKCα translocation (a measure of PKCα activity) in thick ascending limb suspensions. Ang II–dependent hypertension increased furosemide-sensitive oxygen consumption (26.2±1.0% versus 36.6±1.2% of total oxygen consumption; P<0.01). O2 − was also increased (1.1±0.2 versus 3.2±0.5 nmol of O2 −/min per milligram of protein; P<0.03) in thick ascending limbs. Unilateral renal infusion of Tempol decreased O2 − (2.4±0.4 versus 1.2±0.2 nmol of O2 −/min per milligram of protein; P<0.04) and furosemide-sensitive oxygen consumption (32.8±1.3% versus 24.0±2.1% of total oxygen consumption; P<0.01) in hypertensive rats. Tempol did not affect O2 − or furosemide-sensitive oxygen consumption in normotensive controls and did not alter systolic blood pressure. Ang II–dependent hypertension increased PKCα translocation (5.7±0.3 versus 13.8±1.4 AU per milligram of protein; P<0.01). Unilateral renal infusion of Tempol reduced PKCα translocation (5.0±0.9 versus 10.4±2.6 AU per milligram of protein; P<0.04) in hypertensive rats. Unilateral renal infusion of the PKCα inhibitor Gö6976 reduced furosemide-sensitive oxygen consumption (37.4±1.5% versus 25.1±1.0% of total oxygen consumption; P<0.01) in hypertensive rats. We conclude that Ang II–dependent hypertension enhances thick ascending limb Na transport–related oxygen consumption by increasing O2 − and PKCα activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
