Implication

Hypothesis-generating for ANF in hypertension models; human trials needed before any clinical consideration.

Key Points

This research investigates the effects of atrial natriuretic factor on blood pressure and sodium excretion in hypertensive rats.
Conscious SHR and WKY rats were infused with synthetic ANF at 100 ng/hr/rat for 7 days using miniosmotic pumps.
Blood pressure was measured throughout the infusion period to assess the hypotensive response.
Sodium excretion and natriuresis were compared between ANF-infused and non-infused control groups.
In SHR, initial blood pressure of 177 +/- 5 mmHg decreased to 133 +/- 3 mmHg and 142 +/- 4 mmHg during infusion.
No significant change in blood pressure was observed in WKY rats receiving ANF infusion.
No significant differences in sodium excretion or diuresis were detected between ANF-infused and non-infused groups.

Structured PICO

Does chronic infusion of low doses of atrial natriuretic factor reduce blood pressure in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats?

Population

Conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats

Intervention

Synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (ANF Arg 101-Tyr 126) infused at 100 ng/hr/rat (35 pmol/hr/rat) via miniosmotic pumps for 7 days

Comparator

Non-infused control groups of SHR and WKY rats

Outcome

Blood pressuresurrogate

Chronic low-dose infusion of ANF reduces blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats without affecting sodium excretion, suggesting a mechanism involving decreased vascular peripheral resistance.
