Urinary tritium excretion following intravenous 3H-norepinephrine administration in hypertensive rats
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension
|February 1, 1980
Abstract:
Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), salt-resistant (SRR), salt-sensitive (SSR), and Sprague-Dawley DOC-salt nephrectomized rats were tested by evaluation of tritiated norepinephrine uptake and blood pressure with diets containing various amounts of sodium. Only Sprague-Dawley rats who had been both nephrectomized and given DOC on a high salt diet (8%) illustrated the elevated tritium excretion similar to that observed in human subjects with essential hypertension.
