Abstract

Intrarenal administration of 750 ng/kg/min of LX-A in euvolemic rats resulted in significant increases in single nephron GFR (38.4±1.7 to 45.5±3.0 nl/min) and plasma flow rate (95±6 to 127±9 nl/min). The latter was due to a dramatic fall in afferent arteriolar resistance. Mean transcapillary hydraulic pressure difference increased from 33±1 to 43±3 mmHg (p
