Abstract
Arachidonic acid (C20 :4) plasma renin activity (PRA), PGF2alpha, and sodium excretion were determined before and after furosemide in men. C20 : 4 and PRA increase (p less than 0.005) within 10 min after furosemide, PRA then decreased again whereas C20 : 4 levels remained elevated. Maximal exretion of PGF2alpha and sodium occurred 30-60 min after furosemide. Indomethacin prevented the rise of C20 : 4, PRA and PGF2alpha after furosemide, leaving sodium excretion unaltered. The release of C20 : 4 is assumed to be the primary mechanism of furosemide to increase PG biosynthesis and renin release.Entities:
