Angiotensin II receptors in cardiac left ventricles of Dahl rats.
1. Dahl Iwai salt-sensitive (DS) rats have been reported as becoming hypertensive with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure when on a high-salt diet. Their circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported to be suppressed. To evaluate the role of angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 and type 2 receptors (AT1 and AT2, respectively) in LVH, we compared cardiac AT1 and AT2 receptors in 10-week-old DS rats and Dahl Iwai salt-resistant (DR) rats. 2. Seven pairs of 6-week-old male DS and DR rats were fed either a low- or high-salt diet (0.3 or 8% NaCl, respectively) for 4 weeks. Left ventricular AngII receptors were measured by radioligand binding assays using [125I]-[Sar1,Ile8]-AngII in plasma membrane fractions from these four groups. The AT1 and AT2 receptors were distinguished using their specific antagonists CV 11974 and PD 123319, respectively. 3. The high-salt diet increased blood pressure and the left ventricle:bodyweight ratio in DS rats. However, neither Bmax for AT1 and AT2 receptors nor Kd for [125I]-[Sar1,Ile8]-AngII differed between the groups. These results are different from those of other reports of pressure-overload LVH, such as spontaneously hypertensive rats or renovascular hypertension rats, in which AT1 and AT2 receptors were reported to be up-regulated.
