The purpose of the present study was to attempt to correlate four calcium diets (0.02, 0.1, 0.5 and 2.5%) with changes in the development of hypertension in both spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rats. Our findings confirm that an inverse relationship exists between dietary calcium content and the development of hypertension. The relationship does not rely upon altered serum ionized sodium, potassium, or calcium or parathyroid hormone levels. In addition, no consistent dietary calcium-dependent changes were noticed in cardiovascular reactivity. In contrast, anesthesia with pentobarbital completely abolished the relationship. These data support the hypothesis that dietary calcium influences autonomic tone through some, as yet, undefined processes.

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

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.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
