We investigated the alterations of phospholipase C activity in the kidney and arterial wall of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. Neither DOCA nor salt administration alone affected phospholipase C activity in the kidney and arterial wall. In contrast, when the rats were given both DOCA and salt and developed high blood pressure, the phospholipase C activity became greater in the outer and inner medulla (papilla) while the enzyme activity was reduced significantly in the renal cortex and arterial wall. Such an increase in phospholipase C activity was not observed in the kidney of a genetic rat for spontaneous hypertension. Moreover, the phospholipase A2 activity was also stimulated in the renal medulla of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Thus, these data indicate that DOCA-salt hypertension is associated with an increase in phospholipase C activity in the renal medulla, which seems primary to the development of DOCA-salt hypertension.

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
D007679 Kidney Medulla The internal portion of the kidney, consisting of striated conical masses, the renal pyramids, whose bases are adjacent to the cortex and whose apices form prominent papillae projecting into the lumen of the minor calyces. Kidney Papilla,Kidney Medullas,Kidney Papillas,Medulla, Kidney,Medullas, Kidney,Papilla, Kidney,Papillas, Kidney
D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D010741 Phospholipases A Phospholipases that hydrolyze one of the acyl groups of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates.
