Vascular effects of vanadate.

J A Larsen, O O Thomsen

    Basic Research in Cardiology
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sodium orthovanadate causes temporary blood vessel narrowing in cats, affecting visceral arteries like the renal artery but sparing others. This impacts kidney function, reducing filtration and urine output.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Physiology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Vanadate compounds are known to have various biological effects.
    • Understanding the vascular effects of vanadate is crucial for potential therapeutic applications or risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of systemically administered vanadate on arterial constriction in anesthetized cats.
    • To determine the specific vascular beds affected by vanadate and its impact on renal function.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous administration of sodium orthovanadate to anesthetized cats.
    • Monitoring of arterial diameter in different vascular beds (renal, femoral, carotid).
    • Measurement of glomerular filtration rate and urine production.

    Main Results:

    • Vanadate induced a significant, transient, and reversible constriction of visceral arteries, notably the renal artery.
    • Femoral and carotid arteries showed resistance to vanadate-induced constriction.
    • Renal artery constriction was associated with a marked decrease in glomerular filtration rate and urine output.

    Conclusions:

    • Vanadate exerts a direct vasoconstrictive effect on certain visceral arteries.
    • The mechanism of vanadate-induced vasoconstriction requires further investigation.
    • Vanadate's impact on renal hemodynamics and function is significant.
