چکیده

The administration of potassium to hypotensive, potassium-deficient rats results in a prompt restoration of their lowered blood pressure to noimotensive levels. Similar repletion of the potassium deficit in adrenalectomized rats is only partially effective in restoring the blood pressure to noimotensive levels. The spontaneous retention of potassium which occurs in potassium-deficient rats following adrenalectomy fails to restore lowered blood pressures to noimotensive values.

PREVIOUS studies from this laboratory have shown that both intact and hypertensive rats exhibit a gradual but progressive fall in blood pressure when deprived of dietary potassium." Further studies have shown that this depressor response is associated with a loss of body potassium' 5 and a decrease of peripheral vascular reactivity to pressor agents.' 7 The possible involvement of the adrenal c...

One hour after administration of potassium chloride to potassium-deficient rats, the depressed peripheral vascular response to pressor substances was significantly elevated. Administration of potassium chloride to potassium-deficient rats also returned to higher levels the lowered blood pressure of previously normotensive, as well as hypertensive rats.
