Abstract:
:In hereditary HTG rats, basal systolic blood pressure using tail-cuff sphygmomanometry was significantly higher (122.1 +/- 2.1 mm Hg; n = 16) than that in NTG animals (107.1 +/- 1.52; n = 16). A low salt diet did not influence blood pressure in NTG rats during the consecutive 4 weekly periods. However, in the second week blood pressure in HTG rats rose significantly in both the control rats on a normal salt diet and those on a low salt diet (132.5 +/- 1.89, n = 8, and 132.6 +/- 1.93, n = 8). No further changes were registered in the third and fourth week in control HTG rats. On the other hand, blood pressure fell significantly in HTG rats on a low salt diet in the third week in comparison with the second week (119.5 +/- 3.2, n = 8), and it increased again in the fourth week (123.0 +/- 2.35, n = 8). Hormones in plasma were determined at the end of the experiment. Plasma levels of norepinephrine were not influenced by differences in salt intake and were significantly higher by about 45% in HTG than in NTG animals. The lowest concentration of corticosterone in plasma was found in control HTG rats (1.2 +/- 0.2 vs 4.6 +/- 0.8 micrograms/100 ml in control NTG rats). Nevertheless, corticosterone concentration increased in HTG rats on a low salt diet at comparable values found in NTG rats on a low salt diet (3.1 +/- 0.8 vs 4.3 +/- 1.5). Plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentrations were not different in the NTG and HTG groups and were uninfluenced by the diets (Table 1). We conclude that the elevated blood pressure in HTG rats and its variations during the experiment may reflect more pronounced sympathetic activity in HTG rats rather than blood pressure dependency on different salt intake.
