First published August 8, 2001; 10.1152/ajprenal.00139.2001.---The mechanisms underlying the prevention of age-related polyuria by chronic food restriction were investigated in female WAG/Rij rats. The decreased osmolality of renal papilla observed in senescent rats was not corrected by food restriction. A reduced urea content in the inner medulla of senescent rats, fed ad libitum or food-restricted, was suggested by the marked decrease in expression of UT-A1 and UT-B1 urea transporters. Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) downregulation in the inner medulla of senescent rats was partially prevented by food restriction. Both AQP2 and the phosphorylated form of AQP2 (p-AQP2), the presence of which was diffuse within the cytoplasm of collecting duct principal cells in normally fed senescent rats, were preferentially targeted at the apical region of the cells in food-restricted senescent animals. Plasma vasopressin (AVP) was similar in 10- and 30-mo-old rats fed ad libitum, but was doubled in food-restricted 30-mo-old rats. This study indicates that 1) kidney aging is associated with a marked decrease in AQP2, UT-A1, and UT-B1 expression in the inner medulla and a reduced papillary osmolality; and 2) the prevention of age-related polyuria by chronic food restriction occurs through an improved recruitment of AQP2 and p-AQP2 to the apical membrane in inner medulla principal cells, permitted by increased plasma AVP concentration.
