Desoxycorticosterone Acetate
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Desoxycorticosterone acetate (DCA) and NaCl, in the dosage employed in normal rats, caused renal and cardiac hypertrophy, characteristic changes in the renal tubular epithelium, atrophic changes in the subcapsular zone of the adrenal cortex, and serum electrolyte changes characterized by a rise in sodium and fall in potassium. 2. In rats rendered nephritic with a rabbit anti-rat-kidney serum, the same regimen caused similar changes. In addition, DCA given concurrently with NaCl greatly intensified the nephritic process and gave rise to striking arterial hypertension. 3. A diet, virtually sodium-free, administered to normal and nephritic rats receiving daily injections of DCA abolished or reduced to a minimum the effects of this steroid; i.e., a liberal ingestion of NaCl was essential for the potentiation of the action of DCA. 4. The addition of KCl to the drinking water of rats receiving DCA and NaCl tended to correct the depression of the level of potassium in the serum, but had no effect upon the hypertension in nephritic animals nor upon the anatomical lesions. 5. The mechanism by which the sodium ion potentiates the activity of DCA has not been established.

Objective(s): In this study, the effects of chronic administration of crocin, an active constituent of saffron, on blood pressures of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced hypertensive rats, were investigated. Materials and Methods: Five week administration of three doses of crocin (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day) and spironolactone (50 mg/kg/day) in different...

Renin content of systemic blood of rats with desoxycorticosterone and metacorticoid hypertension.
IT HAS BEEN demonstrated in different laboratories that chronic treatment with desoxycorticosterone acetate (DCA) induces in rats a particular type of hypertensive disease.' Observations by Friedman and Friedman, Friedman, Friedman and Nakashima, Prado and Herbert-Carrington, Magaldi and Prado showed that following abrupt interruption of the desoxycorticosterone treatment, from 30 to 40 per cen...
متن کاملEffect of hypoadrenalism and excessive doses of desoxycorticosterone acetate upon response of the rat to ouabain.
The influence of alterations of adrenal function upon the responsiveness of the rat to intravenously administered ouabain was studied electrocardiographically by the string galvanometer. Conduction disturbances followed by cardiac arrest were the criteria for a definitive response. Adrenalectomized rats showed a significant increase in sensitivity to ouabain as compared with normal controls. No...
