Renal norepinephrine (NE) concentration was measured in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at 7, 9, 11, and 13 weeks of age. Although the weight of kidneys was similar in the two strains of rats, renal NE concentration was significantly lower in SHR at all ages (147 +/- 9 to 175 +/- 13 ng/g for SHR, and 216 +/- 8 to 262 +/- 17 ng/g for WKY rats). The difference in renal NE concentration during this time of rapidly increasing arterial pressure in the SHR suggests that renal NE may in some way be related to the development of hypertension.
