Valsartan chronotherapy reverts the non-dipper pattern and improves blood pressure control through mediation of circadian rhythms of the renin-angiotensin system in spontaneous hypertension rats.

Abstract：

:Background: Numerous clinical studies have evaluated valsartan and found more efficacious control of blood pressure (BP) variability when administered before sleep. The treatment leads to improved outcomes when compared to administration upon awakening. The mechanism underlying this etiology is not fully understood. The present study investigates the safety and efficacy of asleep administration of valsartan in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with a non-dipping blood pressure pattern compared to SHRs receiving administration during awake time. Materials and Methods: 84 Male SHRs and 28 male Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) were kept under a strict alternating 12-h light/dark cycle. WKYs were utilized as a non-disease control. Meanwhile, SHRs were randomly divided into three groups: untreated, Valsartan asleep administration (VSA) and Valsartan awake administration (VWA) respectively. The VSA group was treated with valsartan (30 mg/kg/d) after the light onset, while the VWA group was treated with valsartan (30 mg/kg/d) after light offset. Both groups were treated for 6 weeks. Tail artery blood pressure was measured every 4 h via a noninvasive tail cuff blood pressure measurement method. HE and Masson staining were used to evaluate any damage within the target organs. ELISA was used to determine the 24-h plasma renin-angiotensin system (RAS) concentration at 4-h intervals. Results: Based on our findings, VSA significantly reduced 24-h and evening mean BP and restored the abnormal circadian rhythm compared to VWA, which attenuated injuries in the majority of target organs except for the kidneys. Furthermore, VSA was found to activate RAS during the light cycle and inhibit it during the dark cycle. Conversely, VWA was found to deactivate RAS throughout the day which may be related to the circadian BP rhythm. Conclusion: VSA may be more efficacious than VWA in controlling BP, circadian BP rhythm and blood RAS rhythm. Recent cardiovascular outcome investigations substantiate that chronotherapy treatment might be a novel therapeutic strategy for hypertension therapy.
