چکیده

In DOCA-salt rats, the time course of the synergistic interaction between osmolality and DOCA to produce hypertension is unknown. Therefore, in rats 2 wk after implantation of subcutaneous silicone pellets containing DOCA (65 mg) or no drug (sham), we determined blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) responses, using telemetric pressure transducers, during 2 wk of excess salt ingestion (1% NaCl in drinking water). BP was unaltered in sham rats after increased salt, but in DOCA rats BP increased within 4 h. The initial hypertension of 30-35 mmHg stabilized within 2 days, followed approximately 5 days later by a further increment of approximately 30 mmHg. HR first decreased during the dark phase; the second phase was linked to an abrupt increase in HR and BP variability and decreased HR variability. Pressor responses to acute intravenous hypertonic saline infusion were doubled in DOCA-treated rats via vasopressin and nonvasopressin mechanisms. Only in DOCA-treated rats, portal vein hypertonic saline infusion increased BP, which was prevented by V(1) vasopressin blockade. After 2 wk of DOCA-salt, oral ingestion of water rapidly decreased BP. Intraportal infusion of water did not lower BP in DOCA-salt rats, suggesting that hepatic osmoreceptors were not involved. In summary, the hypertension of DOCA-treated rats consuming excess salt exhibits multiple phases and can be rapidly reversed. Hypertonicity-induced vasopressin and nonvasopressin pressor mechanisms that are augmented by DOCA, and hepatic osmoreceptors may contribute to the initial developmental phase. With time, combined DOCA-salt induces marked changes in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, which may favor hypertension development.

Blood Pressure-Lowering Effect of an Orally Active Vasopressin VI Receptor Antagonist in Mineralocorticoid Hypertension in the Rat

We studied the contribution of vasopressin to the maintenance of high blood pressure in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension in the rat using the nonpeptide orally effective vasopressin VI receptor antagonist OPC-21268. Binding kinetic studies demonstrated that oral OPC-21268 (30 mg/kg) acted as a competitive antagonist at the vasopressin VI receptor in DOCA-salt and salt contro...

The Effect of Chronic Administration of Safranal on Systolic Blood Pressure in Rats

Safranal, the main component of Crocus sativus essential oil, exhibits different pharmacological activities. In this study, the effects of safranal, on blood pressure of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced hypertensive rats in chronic administration were investigated. Three doses of safranal (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg/day) and spironolactone (50 mg/kg/day) were administra...
