Abstract
The effect of D-aldosterone and dexamethasone on kallikrein release was studied in the isolated rat kidney perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer. Animals received D-aldosterone or dexamethasone (10μg/100 g body weight) daily for 3 days. Their isolated kidneys were then perfused with the same steroids at rates at 2.0-2.5 μg/min for 30 min. Dexamethasone increased kallikrein release signficantly (P<0.001) both in urine and in venous outflow. D-Aldosterone had no significant effect on kallikrein release, either in urine or in venous outflow.
