To clarify the role of Na,K-ATPase inhibitor in the enhanced pressor response to infused noradrenaline (NA-R) in patients with benign essential hypertension (EHT), NA-R, plasma noradrenaline concentration (PNA), and blood ionized calcium (Ca2+) were investigated before and after intravenous injection of ouabain in 15 normotensive subjects (NT) and 13 EHT. NA-R was enhanced by ouabain in both NT and EHT. The augmentation of NA-R following ouabain injection (delta NA-R) and % delta NA-R were significantly lower in EHT than in NT. Following ouabain injection, no significant change in PNA and blood Ca2+ was observed in both NT and EHT. NA-R negatively correlated with PNA and blood Ca2+, which were estimated just prior to noradrenaline infusion, before ouabain injection as well as after. After ouabain, the regression line between NA-R and PNA or blood Ca2+ shifted toward higher NA-R level in NT, unlike in EHT. These results suggest that an exogenous Na,K-ATPase inhibitor brings about a blunted enhancement of NA-R in EHT consistent with the presence of an endogenous Na,K-ATPase inhibitor in EHT.

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
D007275 Injections, Intravenous Injections made into a vein for therapeutic or experimental purposes. Intravenous Injections,Injection, Intravenous,Intravenous Injection
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

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.
