1. Erythrocyte membrane permeability to sodium and potassium ions was studied in 8–10 weeks spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, Kyoto/Wistar strain), normotensive Wistar and Sprague—Dawley rats. 2. The rate of 22Na efflux from the erythrocytes and the rate constant of Na/Na exchange were considerably greater in SHR than in normotensive Wistar and Sprague—Dawley rats. This difference remained the same in rats adrenalectomized 7 days before the experiment. The maximum difference in the constants was found when the sodium—potassium pump was blocked by ouabain. 3. The accumulation of 42K in the erythrocytes of SHR (the sodium—potassium pump being blocked) took place at a considerably slower rate, and the K+ wash-out into a potassium-free medium was faster than that in the normotensive Wistar and Sprague—Dawley rats. 4. These results indicate a higher permeability of the erythrocyte membrane of SHR for Na+ and K+, compared with normotensive Wistar and Sprague—Dawley strains. It is suggested that this may reflect a more widespread cell-membrane defect, which could serve as a general cause for activating the mechanisms maintaining high blood pressure.

We have studied during 30 days the effect of a low dose of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (1 mg ·kg-1 ·day-1 in drinking water) in the presence of D- or L-arginine (1 mg ·kg-1 ·day-1 in drinking water) in comparison with D- or L-arginine alone on blood pressure and renal function in conscious uninephrectomized female spontaneously hypertensive rats. At the end of the study, there was a significant increase in systolic blood pressure in the NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester + D-arginine group (307 ± 6 mmHg (1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa), n = 14, p << 0.05) in comparison with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester + L-arginine (281 ± 6 mmHg, n = 14), L-arginine (262 ± 5 mmHg, n = 13), and D-arginine (258 ± 7 mmHg, n = 12) groups. There were no changes in diuresis, proteinuria, or sodium and potassium excretion between differently treated animals during this study. These results suggest that in uninephrectomized female spontaneously hypertensive rats, after 1 month blockade of NO synthesis with a low dose of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, vasculature is under tonic control by NO and it is not correlated with renal dysfunction.Key words: Key words: NG -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), kidney, hypertension, spontaneously hypertensive rats, renaldysfunction, uninephrectomy.

1. The distribution and metabolism of inositol phospholipids were studied in the erythrocyte membrane of spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats. The incorporation of 32P into these lipids was considered as an index of their turnover, and a reflection of their metabolism. 2. With [γ-32P]ATP as the source of label only the polyphosphoinositides (diphosphoinositide and triphosphoinositide) incorporated 32P. The levels of labelling were lower in hypertensive than in normotensive rats. Our data indicate that, in the hypertensive rats, the kinases responsible for the labelling of polyphosphoinositides exhibited decreased Vmax. for ATP. 3. These changes may be related to those described for calcium binding and transport in the erythrocyte of spontaneously hypertensive rats.

1. The membrane structure of erythrocytes of rats with different forms of arterial hypertension was studied by means of two hydrophobic fluorescent probes (diphenylhexatriene and pyrene). 2. Microviscosity of hydrophobic areas of erythrocyte membrane of spontaneously hypertensive rats was found to be increased compared with that of membranes from normotensive control rats. 3. No alterations of membrane structure of erythrocytes of deoxycorticosterone-treated rats and renal hypertensive rats were found.

1. The ability of isolated membrane fractions of cardiomyocytes, aortic smooth muscle and erythrocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats to bind calcium was investigated isotopically. 2. Plasma membranes of aortic smooth muscle and erythrocytes of spontaneously hypertensive rats possess a lower calcium-binding ability than preparations from normotensive controls. 3. Sarcoplasmic reticulum from the myocardium of spontaneously hypertensive rats had a lower ability to accumulate calcium. 4. Changes in the calcium-binding ability of the erythrocyte membrane of spontaneously hypertensive rats was related to the diminution of the amount of exchangeable calcium on the inner part of the membrane. The latter may be the cause of the increase of erythrocyte membrane permeability for sodium in spontaneously hypertensive rats and in patients with essential hypertension.
