The diet-induced obesity (DIO) model is frequently used to examine the
pathogenesis of obesity-related pathologies; however, only minimal
glomerulosclerosis (GS) has been reported after 3 mo. We investigated if GS
develops over longer periods of DIO and examined the potential role of
hemodynamic mechanisms in its pathogenesis. Eight-week-old male obesity-prone
(OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) rats (Charles River) were administered a
moderately high-fat diet for 5 mo. Radiotelemetrically measured blood pressure,
proteinuria, and GS were assessed. OP (n=10) rats developed modest hypertension
(142±3 vs. 128±2 mmHg, P<0.05) and substantial levels of proteinuria (63±12 vs.
12±1 mg/day, P<0.05) and GS (7.7±1.4% vs. 0.4±0.2%) compared with OR rats (n=8).
Potential hemodynamic mechanisms of renal injury were assessed in additional
groups of OP and OR rats fed a moderately high-fat diet for 3 mo. Kidney weight
(4.3±0.2 vs. 4.3±0.1 g), glomerular filtration rate (3.3±0.3 vs. 3.1±0.1 ml/min),
and glomerular volume (1.9±0.1 vs. 2.0±0.1 ?m3×10(-6)) were similar between OP
(n=6) and OR (n=9) rats. Renal blood flow autoregulation was preserved in both OP
(n=7) and OR (n=7) rats. In contrast, N?-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)
administration in conscious, chronically instrumented OP (n=11) rats resulted in
15% and 39% increases in blood pressure and renal vascular resistance,
respectively, and a 16% decrease in renal blood flow. Minimal effects of L-NAME
were seen in OR (n=9) rats. In summary, DIO-associated GS is preceded by an
increased hemodynamic sensitivity to L-NAME but not renal hypertrophy or
hyperfiltration.
