Does nitroprusside infusion and salt intake affect renal vascular resistance and cGMP excretion differently in Dahl salt-sensitive versus salt-resistant rats?
Impaired cGMP generation may play a primary role in the inability of the kidneys of Dahl salt-sensitive rats to vasodilate in response to increased salt intake, potentially contributing to salt retention and hypertension.
Simchon et al. (1996) studied this question.
