Abstract: | Implantation of one 40 mg pellet of DOCA causes hypertension in the majority of young female Sprague-Dawley rats within three weeks without removal of a kidney or adding salt to the diet. Similar identically-treated Fischer 344 rats remain normotensive. If one kidney is removed and 1% saline is given to drink, the hormone dosage causes hypertension in rats of both strains, although even here Fischer 344 rats develop the disorder more slowly and less severely. It is concluded that for rat strains resistant to mineralocorticoid hypertension, sensitization is necessary for its induction, whereas for susceptible strains it is not. Fischer 344 rats appear to have higher levels of resting serum renin activity than Sprague-Dawley rats, but the relationship that this bears to hypertension susceptibility is unknown. |
