Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not the decrease in blood pressure induced by dietary magnesium supplementation in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats is associated with modifications in expression and tissular production of endothelin-1. DOCA-salt treatment increased blood pressure, induced renal and cardiac hypertrophy, and increased endothelin-1 expression and production in the kidney, heart, and aorta. Mg supplementation for 8 weeks lowered blood pressure in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats and prevented hypertrophies and the increase of endothelin-1 expression and production in the heart, aorta, and kidney. Treatment with a receptor ETA antagonist, ABT-627, was used to clarify the relationship between the lowering effect of Mg supplementation on blood pressure and endothelin-1 production. When DOCA-salt rats were treated with ABT-627 for 8 weeks, Mg supplementation failed to lower blood pressure. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the lowering effect of Mg supplementation on blood pressure requires an inhibitory effect on endothelin-1 activity and/or endothelin-1 production in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.
