1. The effect of changes of dietary sodium chloride intake and posture on plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration and renal function was studied in 11 normal human volunteers. 2. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentration was higher in the upright posture on a high than it was on a medium or low salt diet. On the medium and high but not on the low salt diet the concentration increased significantly on adoption of the supine posture. 3. Creatinine, sodium, lithium and fractional lithium clearances, fractional distal sodium excretion and total distal water and sodium reabsorption, which were estimated by the lithium clearance technique, were significantly higher on the high than on the low salt diet. The medium salt intake gave intermediate values. 4. Heart rate while upright was significantly higher on the low than on either the medium or the high salt diets. Systolic blood pressure was unaffected by salt intake. Diastolic blood pressure in the supine position was significantly higher on the low than on the medium or high salt diets. 5. Both plasma noradrenaline concentrations and plasma renin activity were significantly higher on the low than on the high salt diet. Values on the medium salt intake were intermediate. Plasma concentrations of both hormones were higher in the upright than in the supine posture on all three salt intakes. 6. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that atrial natriuretic peptide contributes to the cardiovascular and renal adjustments to changes in dietary sodium chloride, and the possible role of the peptide is discussed.

In the kidney, a high salt intake favors oxidative stress and hypoxia and causes the development of fibrosis. Both atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1α) exert cytoprotective effects. We tested the hypothesis that renal expression of ANP and HIF-1αis involved in a mechanism responding to the oxidative stress produced in the kidneys of rats chronically fed a high sodium diet. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a normal salt (0.4% NaCl) (NS) or a high salt (8% NaCl) (HS) diet for 3 weeks, with or without the administration of tempol (T), an inhibitor of oxidative stress, in the drinking water. We measured the mean arterial pressure (MAP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and urinary sodium excretion (UVNa). We evaluated the expression of ANP, HIF-1α, and transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) in renal tissues by western blot and immunohistochemistry. The animals fed a high salt diet showed increased MAP andUVNalevels and enhanced renal immunostaining of ANP, HIF-1α, and TGF-β1. The administration of tempol together with the sodium overload increased the natriuresis further and prevented the elevation of blood pressure and the increased expression of ANP, TGF-β1, and HIF-1αcompared to their control. These findings suggest that HIF-1αand ANP, synthesized by the kidney, are involved in an adaptive mechanism in response to a sodium overload to prevent or attenuate the deleterious effects of the oxidative stress and the hypoxia on the development of fibrosis.Erratum to “Renal Overexpression of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide and Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α as Adaptive Response to a High Salt Diet”

1. Previous studies of endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in humans have examined changes in plasma levels, rather than regional secretion and clearance of the peptide. Using arterial and selective venous catheterization and sampling, and measurement of regional organ flow, we measured haemodynamics, cardiac secretion of ANP and renal clearance of ANP in six healthy volunteers at rest, on a normal sodium diet 2. Salt restriction decreases plasma concentrations of ANP. We assessed the contribution of the heart and kidney to this decrease, by measuring cardiac secretion and renal clearance of ANP at the termination of a low salt diet 3. Twenty-four hour urinary sodium excretion fell on the low salt diet from 163 to 29 mmol/day [standard error of the difference (sed) ± 14, P < 0.001]. Body weight decreased on salt restriction from 76.4 to 75.4 kg (sed ± 0.33, P < 0.05). Brachial mean arterial pressure fell by 6% (P < 0.05), but right atrial pressure was unchanged. Renal vein plasma renin activity increased by 56% with sodium restriction (P < 0.01), whereas arterial ANP concentrations fell by 39% (P < 0.05) 4. Coronary sinus ANP levels fell from 417 to 268 pg/ml (sed ± 74, P < 0.05), whereas renal vein concentrations were unaltered. There was a 47% decrease in cardiac secretion of ANP in the low salt state (P < 0.05). Net extraction of ANP across the kidney (about two-thirds) and renal clearance of ANP were unchanged on the low salt diet. Thus decreased plasma ANP with sodium restriction is due to reduced cardiac secretion.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is thought to play a role in renal regulation of salt balance by reducing tubular reabsorption of sodium and chloride. Therefore, in the chronic absence of this hormone, a defect of salt excretion should be evident. We used an ANP gene deletion model to test this premise. F2 homozygous mutant mice (-/-) and their wild-type littermates (+/+) were fed an 8% NaCl diet prior to an acute infusion of isotonic saline. Arterial blood pressures, renal excretions of salt and water, as well as collecting duct transport of fluid and electrolytes were measured. Pressures were significantly higher in -/- compared with +/+ mice (139 ± 4 vs. 101 ± 2 mmHg; 1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa). There was no difference in glomerular filtration rate (-/- = 0.84 ± 0.06; +/+ = 0.81 ± 0.04 mL·min-1·g-1 kidney weight). In the collecting duct, sodium and chloride reabsorptions were significantly higher in the -/- group than in the +/+ group. As a result, natriuresis and chloruresis were relatively reduced (UNaV: -/- = 8.6 ± 1.1; +/+ = 14.0 ± 1.1; UClV: -/- = 10.1 ± 1.4; +/+ = 16.0 ± 1.1 µmol·min-1·g-1 kidney weight). We conclude that the absence of endogenous ANP activity in mice on a high-salt diet subjected to acute saline infusion causes inappropriately high reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the medullary collecting duct, resulting in a relative defect in renal excretory capacity for salt.Key words: high-salt diet; water, sodium, chloride, and potassium transport.

This study was performed to define the extent to which atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) contributes to upregulate salt excretion in subjects eating a high-salt diet. Eight normal volunteers were first studied at low-salt diet (80 mmol NaCl/day); urinary sodium excretion (UNaV) and plasma ANF (PANF) were measured in the basal condition and during stepwise infusion of human alpha-ANF at 2, 4, 8, and 16 ng.min-1.kg-1. Then the same subjects were shifted to a high-salt diet (400 mmol/day), and UNaV and PANF were measured in the new balance condition. At low-salt diet, UNaV averaged 0.069 meq/min, and PANF averaged 21 pg/ml; infusion of human alpha-ANF raised stepwise both UNaV and PANF (means in meq/min and pg/ml, respectively, were 0.177 and 46, 0.218 and 76, 0.360 and 86, and 0.601 and 182). Infusion of ANF caused a progressive fall of plasma aldosterone and plasma renin activity. Mean UNaV and PANF at high-salt diet were 0.301 meq/min and 35 pg/ml. Thus, by increasing experimentally PANF in a low-salt diet condition to the levels occurring physiologically in a high-salt diet condition, a significant rise in UNaV is evoked, which accounts for approximately 50% of the rise of UNaV that is necessary to balance the increased salt intake.

1. The relationship between plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and body sodium was determined in rats 1 month after myocardial infarction induced by coronary artery ligation. After operation rats received a normal or a low salt diet, and total exchangeable body sodium was measured sequentially. 2. Rats with infarction receiving a normal salt intake did not retain sodium when compared with sham-operated controls. Rats receiving a low salt diet had a 10% decrease in body sodium (P < 0.01). The decrease was the same in rats with infarction as in controls. 3. Plasma ANP was similar in control rats irrespective of salt status. Plasma ANP levels were markedly elevated in rats with infarction irrespective of salt status (P < 0.01). 4. The rise in plasma ANP was correlated with cardiac hypertrophy and infarct size in animals fed both normal and low salt diets. However, there was no relationship between plasma ANP and exchangeable body sodium. 5. These results suggest that in this model of heart failure plasma ANP is raised by increased left atrial stretch in proportion to the severity of left ventricular dysfunction. In contrast, plasma ANP concentrations do not appear to be elevated as a consequence of increased right atrial pressure caused by sodium retention and expanded extracellular volume.

1. The aim of the study was to detect differences between salt-sensitive and salt-resistant hypertensive patients in the response of the renin—aldosterone axis, plasma noradrenaline and atrial natriuretic peptide to high salt intake. 2. Fifty essential hypertensive patients followed 2 weeks of a standard diet with 20 mmol of NaCl daily, supplemented by placebo tablets for the first 7 days and by NaCl tablets for the last 7 days, in a single-blind fashion. Salt sensitivity was defined as a significant rise (P < 0.05) in 24 h mean blood pressure obtained by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring from the low- to the high-salt period. Biochemical and hormonal measurements were performed on the last day of both periods. 3. Twenty-two (44%) patients fulfilled criteria of salt-sensitive hypertension, whereas the remaining 28 (56%) were considered salt-resistant. High salt intake promoted a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in plasma creatinine, potassium, glucose, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, uric acid and plasma renin activity, and a significant increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide and 24 h urinary calcium excretion. The direction of these changes did not differ between salt-sensitive and salt-resistant patients. Salt-resistant hypertensive patients exhibited a significant decrease in plasma aldosterone induced by high salt intake (from 446 ∓ 35 to 226 ± 35 pmol/l; P < 0.001), whereas this parameter was not significantly modified in salt-sensitive patients (from 485 ± 76 to 364 ± 83 pmol/l; P not significant). Salt-sensitive patients showed an increase in plasma noradrenaline after high salt intake (from 1.15 ± 0.11 to 1.56 ± 0.14 nmol/l; P < 0.05), whereas salt-resistant patients presented a decrease in this parameter (from 1.48 ± 0.08 to 1.12 ± 0.08 nmol/l; P < 0.05). The change in plasma noradrenaline was directly correlated with the change in mean blood pressure induced by high salt intake (r = 0.479; P = 0.003). 4. We conclude that the increase in blood pressure induced by high salt intake in salt-sensitive patients is associated with a stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and a blunted decrease in plasma aldosterone. Conversely, changes in renal function, electrolyte excretion and plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide induced by high salt intake seem to be similar in both salt-sensitive and salt-resistant patients.

1. Diurnal changes in plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, Cortisol and antidiuretic hormone were investigated in seven normal volunteers studied under standardized conditions of dietary sodium, posture and physical activity. After completion of the diurnal study serial measurements of these variables were continued during, and on recovery from, a 2 day period of severe sodium depletion. 2. Clear diurnal variations in plasma concentrations of renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, Cortisol and antidiuretic hormone were observed. 3. Plasma ANP concentrations also varied significantly over 24 h. Values peaked about mid-day and a distinct trough in peptide concentrations occurred in the early evening. However, variations in plasma ANP values were of relatively small amplitude and not clearly independent of modest parallel shifts in sodium balance. 4. Changes in plasma ANP concentrations both within the diurnal study period and during sodium deprivation were closely and positively correlated with concomitant changes in cumulative sodium balance. 5. No simple parallel or reciprocal relationships between plasma concentrations of ANP, on the one hand, and concurrent plasma concentrations of other hormones or in the rate of urinary sodium excretion, on the other, were observed during the 25 h of the diurnal study.
