The effects of high-sodium (HS) and normal-sodium (NS) diets on ovarian hormone modulation of mean arterial pressure (MAP) were examined in Dahl salt-resistant (DR) and salt-sensitive (DS) rats. Ovariectomy increased MAP (OVX-Sham) to a greater extent in DS rats maintained for 2 wk on a HS (22 mmHg) compared with a NS (6 mmHg) diet. Ovariectomy had no effect on MAP in DR rats on NS but did increase MAP in rats on HS (10 mmHg) diets. On HS diets, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 36% less in the DS-Sham than DR-Sham animals; ovariectomy increased GFR in both strains by 1.4-1.5-fold; glomerular angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) densities were 1.6-fold higher in the DS-Sham than in the DR-Sham group; ovariectomy increased glomerular AT(1)R densities by 1.3-fold in DR rats but had no effect in DS rats; 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) downregulated adrenal AT(1)R densities in both strains on either diet; ovariectomy reduced estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) protein expression in the renal cortex by 40-50% although renal ER-alpha expression was 34% lower in DS than in DR rats. These observed effects of gonadectomy were prevented by E(2) treatment, suggesting that E(2) deficiency mediates the effects of ovariectomy on MAP, GFR, AT(1)R densities, and renal ER-alpha protein expression. In conclusion, ovariectomy-induced increases in MAP are augmented by HS diet in both strains, and this effect is not mediated by a reduction in GFR. Aberrant renal AT(1)R regulation and reduced renal ER-alpha expression are potential contributors to the hypertensive effects of E(2) deficiency in DS rats. These findings have implications for women with salt-sensitive hypertension and women who are E(2) deficient, such as postmenopausal women. 相似文献

By using an inspired oxygen fraction that produces oxyhemoglobin desaturation equivalent to that seen in human sleep apnea, we have demonstrated that 35 days of recurrent episodic hypoxia (every 30 s for 7 h/day) results in an 8-13 mmHg persistent increase in diurnal systemic mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in rats. Blockade of angiotensin II receptors (AT(1a)) eliminates this response. Separate groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed high-salt (8%), ad libitum-salt, or low-salt (0.1%) diets for 7 wk: 2 wk of wash-in for baseline blood pressure measurement and 5 wk of experimental conditions. Rats in each salt group were subjected to episodic hypoxia whereas controls remained unhandled under normoxic conditions. MAP remained at basal levels in all nonepisodic hypoxia controls as well as high-salt-diet episodic hypoxia-exposed rats. Ad lib and low-salt episodic hypoxia rats showed an increase in MAP from 106 and 104 mmHg at baseline to 112 and 113 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.05). Whole kidney renin mRNA was suppressed in high-salt controls and episodic hypoxia rats, whereas kidney AT(1a) mRNA showed opposite changes. Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system with a high-salt diet blocks the increase in MAP in episodic hypoxia-challenged rats, in part by suppressing local tissue renin levels. Upregulation of the tissue angiotensin II system appears to be necessary for the chronic blood pressure changes that occur from episodic hypoxia. 相似文献

The present study was performed to investigate the role of adenosine A1 receptors in regulating blood pressure in conscious mice. Adenosine A1-receptor knockout (A1R-/-) mice and their wild-type (A1R+/+) littermates were placed on standardized normal-salt (NS), high-salt (HS), or salt-deficient (SD) diets for a minimum of 10 days before telemetric blood pressure and urinary excretion measurements in metabolic cages. On the NS diet, daytime and nighttime mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was 7-10 mmHg higher in A1R-/- than in A1R+/+ mice. HS diet did not affect the MAP in A1R-/- mice, but the daytime and nighttime MAP of the A1R+/+ mice increased by approximately 10 mmHg, to the same level as that in the A1R-/-. On the SD diet, day- and nighttime MAP decreased by approximately 6 mmHg in both A1R-/- and A1R+/+ mice, although the MAP remained higher in A1R-/- than in A1R+/+ mice. Although plasma renin levels decreased with increased salt intake in both genotypes, the A1R-/- mice had an approximately twofold higher plasma renin concentration on all diets compared with A1R+/+ mice. Sodium excretion was elevated in the A1R-/- compared with the A1R+/+ mice on the NS diet. There was no difference in sodium excretion between the two genotypes on the HS diet. Even on the SD diet, A1R-/- mice had an increased sodium excretion compared with A1R+/+ mice. An abolished tubuloglomerular feedback response and reduced tubular reabsorption can account for the elevated salt excretion found in A1R-/- animals. The elevated plasma renin concentrations found in the A1R-/- mice could also result in increased blood pressure. Our results confirm that adenosine, acting through the adenosine A1 receptor, plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, renin release, and sodium excretion. 相似文献

The subfornical organ (SFO), one of the brain circumventricular organs, is known to mediate some of the central effects of angiotensin II related to sodium and water homeostasis. Because angiotensin II levels are altered with changes in chronic dietary salt intake, we reasoned that the actions of angiotensin II at the SFO might be involved in the regulation of arterial pressure during long-term alterations in dietary salt. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term control of arterial pressure during chronic changes in dietary salt intake requires an intact SFO. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly selected for electrolytic lesion (SFOx, n = 8) or sham (n = 9) operation of the SFO. After a 1-wk recovery period, rats were instrumented with radio-telemetric blood pressure transducers for continuous 24-h measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) and then were placed individually in metabolic cages. After another 1 wk of recovery, the rats were subjected to a 49-day protocol as follows: 1) a 7-day control period (1.0% NaCl diet), 2) 14 days of high-salt (4.0% NaCl) diet, 3) 7 days of normal-salt (1.0% NaCl) diet, 4) 14 days of low-salt (0.1% NaCl) diet, and 5) 7 days of recovery (1.0% NaCl diet). There were no significant differences in MAP or HR between SFOx and sham-operated rats throughout the protocol. These results do not support the hypothesis that the SFO is necessary for regulation of arterial pressure during chronic changes in dietary salt. However, SFOx rats demonstrated significantly less cumulative sodium balance than sham-operated rats on days 2-6 of the high-salt diet period. These data suggest that the SFO is important in the regulation of sodium homeostasis during chronic changes in salt intake. 相似文献

The objectives were to determine if ANG II-induced hypertension is maintained by activation of endothelin type A (ET(A)) receptors by endogenous ET-1 and if this effect is influenced by salt intake. Male rats were maintained on high sodium intake (HS; 6 meq/day) or on normal sodium intake (NS; 2 meq/day). Hypertension was produced by intravenous infusion of ANG II (5 ng/min) for 15 days. Five-day oral dosing with the selective ET(A)-receptor antagonist ABT-627 (~2 mg. kg(-1). day(-1)) reduced mean arterial pressure (MAP) to baseline levels in rats on HS receiving ANG II infusion, but it did not affect MAP in normotensive HS controls. In rats on NS, ABT-627 only transiently decreased MAP in rats receiving ANG II and slightly reduced MAP in normotensive controls. ABT-627 produced mild retention of sodium and water in NS rats receiving ANG II, but not in any other group. These results indicate that ET-1 plays a role in ANG II-induced hypertension via activation of ET(A) receptors and that this role is more prominent in rats on HS. 相似文献

Clinical studies have documented an abrupt rise in plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) coincident with an increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the response to acute stress. We therefore examined the ET(A) and ET(B) receptor-dependent effects of ET-1 on the pressor response to acute environmental stress in ET-1-dependent hypertension. Stress was induced by administration of air jet pulses (3 min) in ET(B) receptor-deficient (ET(B) sl/sl) rats fed normal salt (NS; 0.8% NaCl), high salt (HS; 8% NaCl), and HS plus the ET(A) receptor antagonist ABT-627 (5 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) on successive weeks. MAP was chronically monitored by telemetry. Total pressor response (area under the curve) was significantly reduced in ET(B) sl/sl rats maintained on a HS vs. NS diet [-6.8 mmHg (SD 18.7) vs. 29.3 mmHg (SD 8.1) x 3 min, P < 0.05]. Conversely, the total pressor response was augmented in both wild-type [34.2 mmHg (SD 29.2) x 3 min, P < 0.05 vs. NS] and ET(B) sl/sl rats [49.1 mmHg (SD 11.8) x 3 min, P < 0.05 vs. NS] by ABT-627. Blockade of ET(B) receptors in Sprague-Dawley rats caused an increase in basal MAP that was enhanced by HS and lowered by mixed ET(A)/ET(B) receptor antagonism; none of these treatments, however, had any effect on the pressor response. These data demonstrate that increasing endogenous ET-1 suppresses the pressor response to acute stress through ET(A) receptor activation in a genetic model of ET-1-dependent hypertension. These results are consistent with reports that ET-1 can attenuate sympathetically mediated responses. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate total body norepinephrine (NE) kinetics as an index of global sympathetic nervous system (SNS) outflow in a rat model of chronic ANG II-salt hypertension. Male Sprague-Dawley rats fed a 0.4% (normal salt, NS) or 2% (HS) NaCl diet were instrumented with arterial and venous catheters. After 5 days of recovery and a 3-day control period, ANG II (150 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)) was given subcutaneously by minipump for 14 days. Plasma NE levels and total body NE spillover and clearance were determined on control day 3 and ANG II infusion days 7 and 14 using radioisotope dilution principles. To perform this analysis, 3H-NE and NE were measured in arterial plasma after a 90-min infusion of tracer amounts of 3H-NE. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was similar during the control period in NS and HS rats; however, MAP increased to a higher level in HS rats. During the control period, plasma NE tended to be lower in rats on HS, whereas NE clearance tended to be higher in HS rats. As a result NE spillover was similar in NS and HS rats during the control period. In NS rats, plasma NE, NE spillover, and NE clearance were unchanged by ANG II. In contrast, in rats on the HS diet, plasma NE and NE spillover increased during ANG II infusion, whereas NE clearance was unchanged. In conclusion, a HS diet alone or ANG II infusion in animals fed NS do not affect global sympathetic outflow. However, the additional hypertensive response to ANG II in animals fed HS is accompanied by SNS activation. 相似文献

To assess effects of dietary salt on brain AT1 receptor densities, 4-wk-old Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl S) and salt-resistant (Dahl R) rats were fed a regular (101 mumol Na/g) or high (1,370 mumol Na/g)-salt diet for 1, 2, or 4 wk. AT1 receptors were assessed by quantitative in vitro autoradiography. AT1 receptor densities did not differ significantly between strains on the regular salt diet. The high-salt diet for 1 or 2 wk increased AT1 receptor binding by 21-64% in the Dahl S rats in the subfornical organ, median preoptic nucleus, paraventricular nucleus, and suprachiasmatic nucleus. No changes were noted in the Dahl R rats. After 4 wk on a high-salt diet, increases in AT1 receptor binding persisted in Dahl S rats but were now also noted in the paraventricular nucleus, median preoptic nucleus, and suprachiasmatic nucleus of Dahl R rats. At 4 wk on the diet, intracerebroventricular captopril caused clear decreases in blood pressure only in the Dahl S on the high-salt diet but caused largely similar relative increases in brain AT1 receptor densities in Dahl S and R on the high-salt diet versus regular salt diet. These data demonstrate that high salt intake rapidly (within 1 wk) increases AT1 receptor densities in specific brain nuclei in Dahl S and later (by 4 wk) also in Dahl R rats. Because the brain renin-angiotensin system only contributes to salt-induced hypertension in Dahl S rats, further studies are needed to determine which of the salt-induced increases in brain AT1 receptor densities contribute to the hypertension and which to other aspects of body homeostasis. 相似文献

This study determined the effects of hypoxia on diameter, vascular smooth muscle (VSM) transmembrane potential (E(m)), and vascular cAMP levels for in vitro cannulated skeletal muscle resistance arteries (gracilis arteries) from Sprague-Dawley rats fed a low-salt (LS) or a high-salt (HS) diet. Arterial diameter and VSM E(m) were measured in response to hypoxia, iloprost, cholera toxin, forskolin, and aprikalim. In HS rats, arterial dilation and VSM hyperpolarization after hypoxia, iloprost, and cholera toxin were impaired versus responses in LS rats, whereas responses to forskolin and aprikalim were unaltered. Blockade of prostaglandin H(2) and thromboxane A(2) receptors had no effect on responses to hypoxia or iloprost in vessels from both rat groups, suggesting that inappropriate activation of these receptors does not contribute to the impaired hypoxic dilation with HS. Hypoxia, cholera toxin, and iloprost increased vascular cAMP levels in vessels of LS rats only, whereas forskolin increased cAMP levels in all vessels. These data suggest that reduced hypoxic dilation of skeletal muscle microvessels in rats on a HS diet may reflect an impaired ability of VSM to produce cAMP after exposure to prostacyclin. 相似文献

A growing body of evidence indicates that renal tissue injuries are reversible. We investigated whether dietary salt reduction with the combination therapy of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) plus calcium channel blocker (CCB) reverses renal tissue injury in Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) hypertensive rats. DSS rats were fed a high-salt diet (HS; 4% NaCl) for 4 weeks. Then, DSS rats were given one of the following for 10 weeks: HS diet; normal-salt diet (NS; 0.5% NaCl), NS + an ARB (olmesartan, 10 mg/kg/day), NS + a CCB (azelnidipine, 3 mg/kg/day), NS + olmesartan + azelnidipine or NS + hydralazine (50 mg/kg/day). Four weeks of treatment with HS diet induced hypertension, proteinuria, glomerular sclerosis and hypertrophy, glomerular podocyte injury, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis in DSS rats. A continued HS diet progressed hypertension, proteinuria and renal tissue injury, which was associated with inflammatory cell infiltration and increased proinflammatory cytokine mRNA levels, NADPH oxidase activity and NADPH oxidase-dependent superoxide production in the kidney. In contrast, switching to NS halted the progression of hypertension, renal glomerular and tubular injuries. Dietary salt reduction with ARB or with CCB treatment further reduced blood pressure and partially reversed renal tissues injury. Furthermore, dietary salt reduction with the combination of ARB plus CCB elicited a strong recovery from HS-induced renal tissue injury including the attenuation of inflammation and oxidative stress. These data support the hypothesis that dietary salt reduction with combination therapy of an ARB plus CCB restores glomerular and tubulointerstitial injury in DSS rats. 相似文献

Resistance arteries (100-150 microm) were isolated from the gracilis muscle of normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats placed on a high-salt (HS) diet (4.0% NaCl) for 3-7 days. Exposure to the HS diet eliminated vascular relaxation in response to hypoxia (PO2 reduction to 35-40 Torr) and iloprost, a stable analog of prostacyclin. Vasodilator responses were restored in arteries isolated from chronically instrumented HS rats receiving a continuous intravenous infusion of either angiotensin II (ANG II; 5-6 ng x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or ANG II plus the AT2 receptor blocker PD-123319 (5 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) for 3 days before the isolated vessel studies. In contrast, coinfusion of the AT1 receptor blocker losartan (20 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) or coinfusion of both receptor blockers with ANG II eliminated the protective effect of ANG II to restore dilator responses to hypoxia and iloprost. Neither a HS diet nor ANG II infusion affected the dilation of gracilis arteries in response to direct activation of adenylyl cyclase by forskolin, suggesting that the effect of both the HS diet and the ANG II on the vasculature is mediated upstream from second messenger systems. These findings indicate that the protective effect of ANG II to maintain vasodilator reactivity in resistance arteries of rats on a HS diet is mediated via the AT1 receptor subtype. 相似文献

To determine the influence of chronic ANG II infusion on urinary, plasma, and renal tissue levels of immunoreactive endothelin (ET), ANG II (65 ng/min) or saline vehicle was delivered via osmotic minipump in male Sprague-Dawley rats given either a high-salt diet (10% NaCl) or normal-salt diet (0.8% NaCl). High-salt diet alone caused a slight but not statistically significant increase (7 +/- 1%) in mean arterial pressure (MAP). MAP was significantly increased in ANG II-infused rats (41 +/- 10%), and the increase in MAP was significantly greater in ANG II rats given a high-salt diet (59 +/- 1%) compared with the increase observed in rats given a high-salt diet alone or ANG II infusion and normal-salt diet. After a 2-wk treatment, urinary excretion of immunoreactive ET was significantly increased by approximately 50% in ANG II-infused animals and by over 250% in rats on high-salt diet, with or without ANG II infusion. ANG II infusion combined with high-salt diet significantly increased immunoreactive ET content in the cortex and outer medulla, but this effect was not observed in other groups. In contrast, high-salt diet, with or without ANG II infusion, significantly decreased immunoreactive ET content within the inner medulla. These data indicate that chronic elevations in ANG II levels and sodium intake differentially affect ET levels within the kidney and provide further support for the hypothesis that the hypertensive effects of ANG II may be due to interaction with the renal ET system. 相似文献

The coupling of tissue blood flow to cellular metabolic demand involves oxygen-dependent adjustments in arteriolar tone, and arteriolar responses to oxygen can be mediated, in part, by changes in local production of 20-HETE. In this study, we examined the long-term effect of dietary salt on arteriolar oxygen responsiveness in the exteriorized, superfused rat spinotrapezius muscle and the role of 20-HETE in this responsiveness. Rats were fed either a normal-salt (NS, 0.45%) or high-salt (HS, 4%) diet for 4-5 wk. There was no difference in steady-state tissue Po(2) between NS and HS rats, and elevation of superfusate oxygen content from 0% to 10% caused tissue Po(2) to increase by the same amount in both groups. However, the resulting reductions in arteriolar diameter and blood flow were less in HS rats than NS rats. Inhibition of 20-HETE formation with N-methylsulfonyl-12,12-dibromododec-11-enamide (DDMS) or 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA) attenuated oxygen-induced constriction in NS rats but not HS rats. Exogenous 20-HETE elicited arteriolar constriction that was greatly reduced by the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium (K(Ca)) channel inhibitors tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) and iberiotoxin (IbTx) in NS rats and a smaller constriction that was less sensitive to TEA or IbTx in HS rats. Arteriolar responses to exogenous angiotensin II were similar in both groups but more sensitive to inhibition with DDMS in NS rats. Norepinephrine-induced arteriolar constriction was similar and insensitive to DDMS in both groups. We conclude that 20-HETE contributes to oxygen-induced constriction of skeletal muscle arterioles via inhibition of K(Ca) channels and that a high-salt diet impairs arteriolar responses to increased oxygen availability due to a reduction in vascular smooth muscle responsiveness to 20-HETE. 相似文献

Several animal models have been developed to study fetal programming of hypertension. One model involves feeding high-salt (HS) diet to rats before and during pregnancy, during lactation, and after weaning for 10 days. In the present investigation, we limited HS diet to the prenatal period in an attempt to find a narrower critical window for fetal programming. The HS diet did not result in low-birth weight offspring. In the adult offspring, radiotelemetry was used to assess blood pressure and heart rate in the conscious unstressed state. As adults, the HS offspring were not hypertensive compared with normal-salt (NS) control animals. However, the pressor and tachycardic responses to 1-h of restraint were significantly enhanced in HS female offspring, and recovery after restraint was delayed. This was accompanied by an increase in relative expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus during basal and stressed conditions. There was no augmented stress response or relative increase in CRH mRNA in adult HS male offspring. When challenged with 1 wk of 8% NaCl diet as adults, neither HS male nor female offspring exhibited salt sensitivity compared with NS groups. These data show that a high-salt diet limited to the prenatal period is not sufficient to program hypertension in adult offspring. However, this narrower critical period is sufficient to imprint a lasting hyperresponsiveness to stress, at least in adult female offspring. These data indicate that excessive maternal salt intake during pregnancy can adversely affect the cardiovascular health of adult offspring. 相似文献

The present study was performed to evaluate the role of an interaction between the endothelin (ET) and the renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) in the development and maintenance of hypertension and in hypertension-associated end-organ damage in heterozygous male and female transgenic rats harboring the mouse Ren-2 renin gene (TGR). Twenty-eight days old heterozygous TGR and age-matched transgene-negative normotensive Hannover Sprague-Dawley rats (HanSD) were randomly assigned to groups with normal-salt (NS) or high-salt (HS) intake. Nonselective ET(A)/ET(B) receptor blockade was achieved with bosentan (100 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)). All male and female HanSD as well as heterozygous TGR on NS exhibited 100 % survival rate until 180 days of age (end of experiment). HS diet in heterozygous TGR induced a transition from benign to malignant phase hypertension. The survival rates in male and in female heterozygous TGR on the HS diet were 46 % and 80 %, respectively, and were significantly improved by administration of bosentan to 76 % and 97 %, respectively. Treatment with bosentan did not influence either the course of hypertension (measured by plethysmography in conscious animals) or the final levels of blood pressure (measured by a direct method in anesthetized rats) in any of the experimental groups of HanSD or TGR. Administration of bosentan in heterozygous TGR fed the HS diet markedly reduced proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis and attenuated the development of cardiac hypertrophy compared with untreated TGR. Our data show that the ET receptor blockade markedly improves the survival rate and ameliorates end-organ damage in heterozygous TGR exposed to HS diet. These findings indicate that the interaction between the RAS and ET systems plays an important role in the development of hypertension-associated end-organ damage in TGR exposed to salt-loading. 相似文献

Regulation of atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) receptor binding and aldosterone suppression was studied in isolated adrenal glomerulosa cells from rats fed a high-salt (HS) or low-salt (LS) diet for 3 days. In plasma of HS rats, aldosterone levels were 5 times lower and immunoreactive ANH two times higher than in LS rats. Competitive binding studies showed the same affinity for human atrial natriuretic hormone (hANH) in both pools of cells, but receptor density was 50% higher on LS cells. A linear ANH analog that binds to non-guanylate-cyclase-coupled receptors did not show increased binding to LS cells. Cyclic GMP production in response to hANH was identical in both groups. The aldosterone-inhibitory effect of hANH on both groups of basal and angiotensin II-stimulated cells was also identical. Thus a short-term high-salt diet causes decreased density of ANH receptors in glomerulosa cells without changing biological activity of ANH. These results suggest that dietary salt content changes the number of ANH receptors and that non-guanylate-cyclase-coupled receptors contain at least two classes of receptors. 相似文献

Stimulation of brain Na+ channels by Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 (FMRFamide) increases sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure (BP) in Wistar rats. Blockade of brain ouabain-like compounds (OLC) by specific antibody Fab fragments prevents these responses to intracerebroventricular FMRFamide. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of high-salt intake on brain FMRFamide levels and the responses of BP and brain OLC to intracerebroventricular infusion of FMRFamide in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) and salt-resistant (SR) rats. FMRFamide and OLC content was measured with the use of RIA and ELISA, respectively. A high-salt diet (1,370 micromol Na+/g) for 2 wk significantly increased BP in Dahl SS but not in SR rats. On a regular salt diet, Dahl SS and SR rats showed similar FMRFamide levels in the whole hypothalamus, pons and medulla, and spinal cord. A high-salt diet for 2 wk did not affect FMRFamide levels in these tissues in both Dahl SS and SR rats. In Dahl SS but not in SR rats, chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of FMRFamide (200 nmol. kg(-1).day(-1)) for 2 wk significantly increased BP (mean arterial pressure: 116 +/- 5 vs. 100 +/- 2 mmHg; P < 0.01). Chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of FMRFamide significantly increased hypothalamic and pituitary OLC in Dahl SS but not SR rats. These results indicate that Dahl SS rats exhibit enhanced central responses to FMRFamide. In Dahl SS but not in SR rats on a high-salt diet, enhanced Na+ entry through FMRFamide-activated brain Na+ channels may increase brain OLC release, thereby leading to hypertension. 相似文献

High sodium intake is known to regulate the renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and is a risk factor for the pathogenesis of obesity-related hypertension. The complex nature of the RAS reveals that its various components may have opposing effects on natriuresis and blood pressure regulation. We hypothesized that high sodium intake differentially regulates and shifts a balance between opposing components of the renal RAS, namely, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-ANG II-type 1 ANG II receptor (AT(1)R) vs. AT(2)-ACE2-angiotensinogen (Ang) (1-7)-Mas receptor (MasR), in obesity. In the present study, we evaluated protein and/or mRNA expression of angiotensinogen, renin, AT(1A/B)R, ACE, AT(2)R, ACE2, and MasR in the kidney cortex following 2 wk of a 8% high-sodium (HS) diet in lean and obese Zucker rats. The expression data showed that the relative expression pattern of ACE and AT(1B)R increased, renin decreased, and ACE2, AT(2)R, and MasR remained unaltered in HS-fed lean rats. On the other hand, HS intake in obese rats caused an increase in the cortical expression of ACE, a decrease in ACE2, AT(2)R, and MasR, and no changes in renin and AT(1)R. The cortical levels of ANG II increased by threefold in obese rats on HS compared with obese rats on normal salt (NS), which was not different than in lean rats. The HS intake elevated mean arterial pressure in obese rats (27 mmHg) more than in lean rats (16 mmHg). This study suggests that HS intake causes a pronounced increase in ANG II levels and a reduction in the expression of the ACE2-AT(2)R-MasR axis in the kidney cortex of obese rats. We conclude that such changes may lead to the potentially unopposed function of AT(1)R, with its various cellular and physiological roles, including the contribution to the pathogenesis of obesity-related hypertension. 相似文献

Cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR) is involved in sympathetic activation. The present study was designed to investigate the contribution of enhanced CSAR to sympathetic activation in the early stage of diabetes and the involvement of AT(1) receptors in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Diabetes was induced by a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin in rats. Acute experiments were carried out under anesthesia after 3 wk. The CSAR was evaluated by the responses of renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) to epicardial application of capsaicin or bradykinin. Sympathetic activity and CSAR were enhanced in diabetic rats. Plasma norepinephrine and angiotensin II were increased, but the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in the left ventricle wall was not significantly increased in diabetic rats. Pericardial injection of resiniferatoxin to desensitize cardiac afferents or PVN microinjection of lidocaine attenuated the CSAR and decreased the RSNA and MAP in diabetic rats. The AT(1) receptor expression in the PVN increased in diabetic rats. Angiotensin II in the PVN caused greater increases in the RSNA and MAP and enhancement in the CSAR in diabetic rats, which were abolished by the losartan pretreatment. Losartan decreased the RSNA and MAP and attenuated the CSAR in diabetic rats but not in control rats. These results indicate that the CSAR is enhanced in the early stage of diabetic rats, which contributes to the sympathetic activation. AT(1) receptors in the PVN are involved in the enhanced CSAR in diabetic rats. 相似文献
