Abstract
Renal artery constriction (RAC) to 30% of normal flow for 12 hr in the unilaterally nephrectomized dog produced a marked increase in both erythropoietin titers and prostaglandin E (PGE) levels in the blood. In dogs pretreated prior to RAC with indomethacin, a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthetase, there was no significant increase in either PGE or erythropoietin levels as compared to zero-time control values. These data suggested an involvement of renal PGE in the generation of erythropoietin following RAC.Entities:
