摘要
The present study was designed to examine the effect of antihypertensive therapy on plasma and atrial concentration of atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by using ±-methyldopa and hydralazine. Methyldopa and hydralazine treatment reduced blood pressure (P <. 05, P <. 05, respectively); however, ventricular weight was reduced by methyldopa (P <. 05) but not by hydralazine. Plasma ANP concentration in untreated SHR was higher than that observed in Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Methyldopa treatment decreased plasma ANP concentration, but hydralazine treatment did not. Moreover, plasma ANP concentration and ventricular weight were positively correlated in untreated and treated SHR. The left atrial ANP concentration in untreated SHR was lower than that observed in WKY. Methyldopa treatment increased left atrial ANP concentration, but hydralazine treatment did not. These results suggest that the ANP release from the left atrium is chronically stimulated in adult SHR, and that a decrease in plasma ANP concentration by methyldopa treatment is, in part, associated with the decline of ANP release from the heart due to the reductions of blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy. © 1990 by the American Journal of Hypertension, Ltd.
