  • Title: High salt intake attenuates the development of hypertension in two-kidney, one-clip Goldblatt rats.

    Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1991 Jun; 197(2):181-5. PubMed ID: 1827673.
    Abstract:
    Effects of high salt intake on the early onset of hypertension were examined in two-kidney, one-clip rats. They were divided into high salt and control groups which were supplied with 1.0% NaCl and tap water, respectively, as a drinking solution for 12 days after clipping the left renal artery. The high salt group showed a lower plasma renin concentration and a higher plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) along with an attenuation of the magnitude of early hypertension, as compared with the control group. A significant positive correlation between blood pressure and plasma renin concentration and an inverse correlation between plasma renin concentration and ANP were shown. Cortical renal renin content was comparable between the two groups. In another two groups of sham-clipped rats, the high salt group did not differ from the tap water-drinking group in any of the parameters examined, except that ANP was significantly higher. These results demonstrate that high salt intake attenuates the developmental phase of hypertension in two-kidney, one-clip rats by increasing the ANP and suppressing the release of renin.
