Salt, endogenous ouabain and blood pressure interactions in the general population.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:Experimental data show that ouabain is a modulator of the sodium-potassium pump, which plays an important role in sodium homeostasis and blood pressure regulation. We investigated the distribution of plasma ouabain in the general population in relation to blood pressure and other determinants of sodium homeostasis. METHODS:In 379 subjects enrolled in a Belgian population study, we measured plasma ouabain, clinical characteristics including blood pressure, serum and urinary electrolytes, urinary aldosterone excretion, various lifestyle factors, and the Gly460Trp polymorphism of the alpha-adducin gene. Our statistical methods included analysis of covariance and multiple linear regression. RESULTS:Plasma ouabain (median, 140 pmol/l) correlated independently and positively with male gender (n = 182, P = 0.002), smoking (n = 116, P = 0.05), urinary potassium excretion (mean 69 mmol/day, P < 0.0001), and mutation of the alpha-adducin gene (n = 161, P < 0.0001). Both before and after adjustment for covariables, continuous as well as categorical analyses revealed a significant interaction (P < or = 0.02) between plasma ouabain and urinary sodium excretion (mean 194 mmol/day) in relation to blood pressure (mean systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure, 123/76 mmHg). In individuals with plasma ouabain values below the median, blood pressure increased by 2.2 mmHg systolic and 1.4 mmHg diastolic for each 50 mmol/day increment in urinary sodium excretion (P < or = 0.01). No association between blood pressure and urinary sodium excretion was found when plasma ouabain exceeded the median. CONCLUSIONS:Plasma ouabain behaves as a blood pressure modulating factor, possibly released in response to potassium, either inhibiting the pressor effect of an excessive salt intake or counteracting the depressor action of sodium depletion.
