Abstract

Objective: The acute and chronic blockade of Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme by N-nitroL-arginine (L-NNA) leads to hypertension. In this model, the co-administration of a high salt diet (1%) increases the intensity of hypertension. The aim of this study is to determinewhether salt dependence in this model is related to the extentof nitric oxide inhibition and/or vascular adrenoceptor responsiveness. Materials and Methods: To determinewhether salt dependence in this model is related to the extentof nitric oxide inhibition and/or vascular adrenoceptor responsiveness, we administrated a standard salt, or high salt diet and oral L-NNA treatment to adult male Sprague-Dawley rats at either 5 or 25 mg/kg per day. Blood pressure was measured by using tail-cuff method and urine vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. Alpha-adrenergic receptor responses in isolated thoracic aorta rings were evaluated in "in vitro" conditions. Results: Low-dose L-NNA treatment induced a blood pressure augmentation only when associated with sodium overload. In rats receiving high-dose L-NNA, hypertension was aggravated by sodium excess. At the 14th day of treatment, the urine VMA levels was significantly increased in rats receiving low-dose L-NNA with high salt diet compared with others. Also, vascular alpha-1 adrenergic receptor sensitivity in this group was significantly decreased. Conclusion: Present findings indicate that the activation of sympathetic may be a main contributor factor to development of hypertension induced by co-administration of a high salt diet with subpressor dose of L-NNA in rats.

Özet

Amaç: Nitrik oksit sentaz (NOS) enziminin akut ve kronik blokajı kan basıncı artışına neden olmaktadır. Bu model hipertansiyonda yüksek tuz diyeti ilavesi (%1), hipertansiyonun şiddetini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bu modelde tuza bağımlılığın, NOS inhibisyonunun büyüklüğü ve/veya vasküler alfa-adrenerjik reseptör duyarlılığı ile ilişkisi olup olmadığını belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Erişkin Spraque-Dawley sıçanlara standart (%0.8) veya yüksek tuz (%8) içeren diyet ve günlük 5 veya 25 mg/kg oral L-NNA tedavisi uygulandı. Kan basıncı indirekt kan basıncı ölçüm sistemi olan tail-cuff yöntemi ile, idrar vanililmandelikasit (VMA) düzeyleri ise yüksek performanslı sıvı kromotografi (HPLC) metodu kullanılarak ölçüldü. Alfa-adrenerjik reseptör yanıtları izole torasik aorta halkalarında "in vitro" şartlarda değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 14 gün sonunda, düşük doz L-NNA tedavisi ile birlikte tuz yüklemesi yapılan grupta anlamlı kan basıncı artışı saptandı. Yüksek doz L-NNA alan sıçanlarda anlamlı kan basıncı artışı görüldü ve hipertansiyon tuzun artırılmasıyla şiddetlendi. Çalışmanın 14. gününde düşük dozda L-NNA ile birlikte yüksek tuz diyeti alan grupta idrar VMA düzeyleri, diğer gruplara göre anlamlı yüksek bulundu. Aynı zamanda bu grupta, alfa-1 adrenerjik reseptör duyarlılığı anlamlı oranda azaldı. Sonuç: Mevcut bulgular, subpressör dozda NOS inhibitörü ve beraberinde yüksek tuz içeren diyet uygulamasıyla hipertansiyon gelişmesinde, sempatik sistem aktivitesinde artışın önemli katılımcı olabileceğini göstermektedir.
