  • Title: Exaggerated natriuresis in experimental hypertension.
    Author: DiBona GF, Sawin LL.
    Journal: Proc Soc Exp Biol Med; 1986 May; 182(1):43-51. PubMed ID: 3960858.
    Abstract:
    The exaggerated natriuretic response to intravenous isotonic saline volume expansion in conscious spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR), compared to normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), is associated with an exaggerated inhibition of renal nerve activity. Following bilateral renal denervation, the natriuresis was significantly attenuated in SHR but unaffected in WKY. Thus, the exaggerated natriuretic response to intravenous isotonic saline in SHR is dependent on their enhanced inhibition of renal nerve activity. Conscious Dahl salt-sensitive rats, on either low or high salt diet, did not exhibit an exaggerated natriuretic response to intravenous isotonic saline volume expansion which may be explained by their known impairment of cardiopulmonary baroreceptor reflex mediated suppression of efferent sympathetic nerve activity during intravenous volume expansion. Conscious hypertensive DOCA-NaCl rats exhibited an exaggerated natriuretic response to oral but not to intravenous isotonic saline volume expansion, suggesting differences in gastrointestinal absorption of isotonic saline. It is concluded that enhanced inhibition of efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity via cardiopulmonary baroreceptor reflex activation contributes to the exaggerated natriuretic response to intravenous isotonic saline volume expansion in certain models of experimental hypertension.
