The study was devised to establish the role of prostaglandin E(2), prostaglandin(In), and thromboxane A(2) in the genesis of glomerular hyperfiltration response to a meat meal in healthy humans. To this end, a group of 8 healthy women was studied 4 times: in the control state (study 1), after a meat meal (study 2), following a meat meal associated with intravenous aspirin (study 3) and finally after a meat meal associated with intravenous aspirin following 2-day pretreatment with oral aspirin (study 4). Urinary excretion of prostaglandins and thromboxane increased during the glomerular hyperfiltration response to a meat meal and was suppressed by aspirin administration which did not suppress the renal hemodynamic response to the meat meal. The data do not support a causal role for prostaglandins and thromboxane A(2) in the hemodynamic response to acute protein loading.

Abstract
The study was devised to establish the role of prostaglandin E(2), prostaglandin(In), and thromboxane A(2) in the genesis of glomerular hyperfiltration response to a meat meal in healthy humans. To this end, a group of 8 healthy women was studied 4 times: in the control state (study 1), after a meat meal (study 2), following a meat meal associated with intravenous aspirin (study 3) and finally after a meat meal associated with intravenous aspirin following 2-day pretreatment with oral aspirin (study 4). Urinary excretion of prostaglandins and thromboxane increased during the glomerular hyperfiltration response to a meat meal and was suppressed by aspirin administration which did not suppress the renal hemodynamic response to the meat meal. The data do not support a causal role for prostaglandins and thromboxane A(2) in the hemodynamic response to acute protein loading.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
