Abstract

1. 1. Changes in glomerular nitration rate (GFR), urine and blood properties and plasma catecholamines of carp were investigated during and following hypoxia. 2. 2. GFR and urine flow decreased with increased urinary concentrations of bio-components, except protein, in the course of hypoxia. 3. 3. Decreases in blood pH, and increases in haematocrit value and plasma K +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, inorganic phosphate (P i), ammonia, lactic acid and catecholamines (CAs) were observed as hypoxia progressed. 4. 4. Increased GFR and urine flow, and higher values for urinary components, except protein, compared with those of the control were found in the initial post-stress stage. 5. 5. The possible significance of increased plasma CAs in relation to changes in renal function in hypoxic carp is discussed.
