Cyclic Nucleotide Response to Stimulation in Isolated Glomeruli from Dog Kidney

Abstract
The effects of biogenic amines on cAMP and on cGMP were studied in isolated glomeruli from dog kidneys. Of the agents tested, histamine produced the greatest increase in cyclic nucleotide activity. Isoproterenol, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine also produced increases in cAMP and/or cGMP activity but of lesser magnitude. Propranolol decreased cyclic nucleotide levels. Glomeruli isolated from the outer cortex showed greater responses to stimulation than glomeruli from the inner cortex.
