Recruitment of the left ventricle for production of atrial natriuretic factor in Dahl salt-hypertension sensitive rats. 1988

Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rats on normal salt intake develop a chronic form of hypertension with aging whereas Dahl salt-resistant (R) rats do not. In old hypertensive S rats the left ventricle is recruited for the production of ANF as evidenced by a seven- to ten-fold increase in atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) mRNA and increased ANF in ventricular tissue. Plasma ANF is also markedly increased in hypertensive S rats but there is no direct proof that ventricular production of ANF contributes to high plasma ANF. Atrial ANF is higher in S than R rats but this strain difference is not associated with strain differences in ANF mRNA in atria and atrial ANF mRNA does not increase dramatically in hypertensive S rats as does ventricular mRNA. Recruitment of the ventricle to produce ANF is clearly a secondary consequence of hypertension, but its functional significance is not established.

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.
