Orchidectomy attenuates impaired endothelial effects of a high-salt diet in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Abstract:

:The effect of sex hormones on vascular reactivity is considered one of the underlying factors contributing to gender differences in cardiovascular functions and diseases. Experiments were designed to investigate the role of androgens in salt-induced hypertension by assessing the relaxation response of isolated aortic rings to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside in the presence or absence of l-nitroarginine methyl ester in Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were either orchidectomized or sham-operated, with or without testosterone replacement, and were placed on a normal or high-salt diet for 6 weeks. The results indicate a significant increase (p < 0.001) in the mean arterial blood pressure of rats on the high-salt diet, when compared with control or orchidectomized rats. Orchidectomy elicited a reduction in mean arterial blood pressure (p < 0.01), while testosterone replacement normalized mean arterial blood pressure to values seen in intact rats on the high-salt diet. The high-salt diet reduced the relaxation response to acetylcholine both in the presence and absence of inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase with l-nitroarginine methyl ester. Bilateral orchidectomy attenuated the impaired endothelial function induced by the high-salt diet in rats, but this was reversed by concomitant administration of testosterone, suggesting a role for androgens in enhancing long-term vascular smooth muscle tone and hence maintenance of high blood pressure in salt-induced hypertension.
