Abstract：
:A high-salt diet in rats has been shown to result in enhanced vasoconstrictor and/or reduced vasodilator responses of isolated arteries to agonists. The present experiments were designed to investigate the effects of dietary salt on the responses of the pressurized mesenteric resistance artery of the dog to constrictor and dilator agents. Dogs were fed diets containing three different levels of salt with sodium concentrations (in mmol/kg per day) of 0.4 (low salt; LS), 3.0 (intermediate salt; IS) and 6.0 (high salt; HS) for a period of 4 weeks. At the end of the feeding period, animals were killed and lengths of third-order mesenteric artery were obtained and mounted in a perfusion myograph and changes in internal diameter were measured using a microscope and video-tracking device. The responses to noradrenaline (NA), acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were then determined. The vasoconstrictor responses to NA were identical in the three groups. However, the relaxation response of the vessels to ACh was attenuated in HS dogs compared with LS dogs (P < 0.05), but not with IS dogs. The application of N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, reduced the relaxation responses to ACh comparably in all three groups. The relaxation responses of the vessels to SNP were similar in all groups. These results indicate that, in the dog mesenteric resistance artery, a high-salt diet does not affect vasoconstrictor responses to NA, but does attenuate the vasorelaxant action of ACh, largely by inhibiting the production of endothelium-derived relaxing factor.
