Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which was dis-covered from rat atria, has been implicated in the regulation of systemic water and electrolyte bala-nces. Recently, ANP and that specific receptor was identified in rat brain. These observations suggest the additional central effect of ANP. In this study, the effect of ANP on the intracranial pressure, brain water content and brain sodium concentration was studied with congenital hydro-cephalus rats (HTX strain). This strain of rat has a high incidence of congenital hydrocephalus (50 %), and the survival period of hydrocephalic ratwas 4-5 weeks. Using this hydrocephalic HTX rats, the intracranial pressure was measured thro-ugh the fine needle of 26 gauge which was placed in the ventricle stereotaxically. The water content was measured by dry-weight method. The brain tissue sodium concentration was measured with at-omic absorption spectrophotometer (Shimazu Corp., AA-670). Because ANP did not pass through the blood-brain barrier, ANP was administed into the cerebral ventricle with direct puncture. Intraven-tricular administration of 2 μg of α-hANP decrea-sed the intracranial pressure significantly (p< 0.01), from 5.25±0.60 (mean±SEM) mmHg to 3.00± O.35 mmHg (n= 10), from 7.38± 1.13 mmHg to 5.20±1.32 mmHg (n=5) after 40 minute in both 21 and 28 days HTX rats, respectively. After ANP administration, the water and sodium con-tents of brain changed from 83.47± 0.15%, 305.5± 9.1 mmol/kg dry weight to 83.09± 0.15%, 291.2± 6.5 mmol/kg dry weight in 21 days HTX rats, and from 81.74 ± 0.24%, 288.0± 14.6 mmol/kg dry we-ight to 81.14±0.18%, 267.3 ± 9.9 mmol/kg dry we-ight in 28 days HTX rats, respectively. However, these changes were not statistically significant.

Intraventricular administration of saline and 0.2 μg of α-hANP did not yield any changes of intra-cranial pressure, brain water content and brain tissue sodium concentration. Thus, ANP decrease the intracranial pressure without concomitant dec-rease of water and sodium contents of brain in the hydrocephalic rat. This suggest decreasing effect on CSF production rather than the antiedematous effect of ANP.
