Zinc-Excess Intake Causes the Deterioration of Renal Function Accompanied by an Elevation in Systemic Blood Pressure Primarily Through Superoxide Radical-Induced Oxidative Stress

Using rats fed 22 g/d of a control diet containing 0.005% zinc (Zn) or 2 Zn-excess diets containing 0.05% or 0.2% Zn for 4 weeks, we examined the mechanisms involved in the deterioration of renal function induced by Zn-excess intake. An increase in Zn intake elevated mean blood pressure (BP) and reduced renal blood flow (RBF) and inulin clearance in a dose-dependent manner. This decline in inulin clearance may be derived from a fall in RBF. Administration of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, markedly increased mean BP and significantly decreased RBF in the 3 groups of rats. Administration of the exogenous superoxide radical (OO-) scavenger, tempol, significantly decreased mean BP and substantially increased RBF in all groups of rats. These observations suggest that both an elevation in systemic BP and a reduction in RBF seen in the 2 Zn-excess diet groups result from a decrease in the action of the vasodilator, NO, through the formation of peroxynitrite based on the nonenzymatic reaction of NO and increased OO- Indeed, the activity of the endogenous OO- scavenger, copper/Zn-superoxide dismutase, was significantly reduced in the vessel wall of rats fed 2 Zn-excess diets versus a control diet. 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine formation caused by OO- generation was notably elevated in the kidneys of rats fed 2 Zn-excess diets relatively to rats fed a control diet. Thus, Zn-excess intake leads to the aggravation of renal function concomitantly with an increase in systemic BP predominantly through the oxidative stress caused by OO<sup/>.
