This study was designed: (1) to test the hypothesis that the pressor response to sodium chloride loading in patients with essential hypertension is associated with disorder of divalent cations (calcium and magnesium); and (2) to clarify the relationship between intracellular free calcium concentration and serum levels of calcium-regulating factors and intracellular magnesium concentration. With sodium chloride loading, mean blood pressure, urinary calcium and magnesium excretions and platelet calcium concentration were increased, and serum total and ionized calcium, magnesium concentrations and erythrocyte magnesium concentration were decreased. Change in mean blood pressure was correlated with changes in parathyroid hormone (r = 0.49, P less than 0.05), serum total and ionized calcium (r = -0.50, P less than 0.05) and erythrocyte magnesium (r = -0.56, P less than 0.05) and platelet calcium concentrations (r = 0.46, P less than 0.05). In addition, change in platelet calcium concentration was related to changes in parathyroid hormone (r = 0.44, P = 0.05), serum total and ionized calcium (r = -0.66, P less than 0.01) and erythrocyte magnesium concentration (r = -0.49, P less than 0.05). It is concluded that the pressor effect of excessive sodium chloride intake on blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension is associated with a disorder of divalent cations and that alteration of the intracellular free calcium concentration with sodium chloride loading may occur through handling of serum total and ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone and/or intracellular magnesium concentration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008297 Male Males
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
