Fig. 4. Anoga-DH31 stimulates diuresis and natriuresis, mimicking the
actions of exogenous cAMP. Fluid secretion and urine Na+ and
K+ concentrations were initially measured over a 30 min control
period and then at 1015 min intervals after the addition of 1 µmol
l1 Anoga-DH31 alone (first arrow) and then in
combination with 1 mmol l1 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (second
arrow). Data points show the means ±
S.E.M. for five tubules. (A)
Anoga-DH31 stimulates fluid secretion (solid line) and increases
the urine [Na+]:[K+] ratio (broken line) to the same
extent as 8-bromo-cyclic AMP. (B) Transepithelial Na+ transport
(solid line) is selectively stimulated by Anoga-DH31, which has
relatively little effect on K+ transport (broken line).
