Binding of [3H]nitrendipine to cardiac and cerebral membranes from normotensive and renal, deoxycorticosterone/NaCl and spontaneously hypertensive rats. 1986

K Ishii, and T Kano, and J Ando, and H Yoshida

The properties of [3H]nitrendipine binding to cardiac and cerebral membranes from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and renal (RHR), deoxycorticosterone/NaCl (DOCA-HR) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats were investigated. The maximal numbers of binding sites (Bmax) in the striatum, thalamus and hippocampus for SHR increased by 21.4-40.0, 28.1-40.4 and 21.4-34.1% of the numbers in WKY, but the apparent dissociation constants (KD) in the cerebral membranes differed very little between WKY and SHR. In the cardiac membranes, KD and Bmax values differed very little between WKY and SHR. In the RHR and DOCA-HR, the Bmax values in the striatum, thalamus and hippocampus were similar to those of WKY. These findings suggest that the increase in Bmax of [3H]nitrendipine in the striatum, thalamus and hippocampus of SHR may play a part in the development and maintenance of high blood pressure in SHR.

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.

D006977	Hypertension, Renal	Persistent high BLOOD PRESSURE due to KIDNEY DISEASES, such as those involving the renal parenchyma, the renal vasculature, or tumors that secrete RENIN.	Hypertensions, Renal,Renal Hypertension,Renal Hypertensions

D009568	Nitrendipine	A calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.
