By using an inspired oxygen fraction that produces oxyhemoglobin desaturation equivalent to that seen in human sleep apnea, we have demonstrated that 35 days of recurrent episodic hypoxia (every 30 s for 7 h/day) results in an 8–13 mmHg persistent increase in diurnal systemic mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in rats. Blockade of angiotensin II receptors (AT1a) eliminates this response. Separate groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed high-salt (8%), ad libitum-salt, or low-salt (0.1%) diets for 7 wk: 2 wk of wash-in for baseline blood pressure measurement and 5 wk of experimental conditions. Rats in each salt group were subjected to episodic hypoxia whereas controls remained unhandled under normoxic conditions. MAP remained at basal levels in all nonepisodic hypoxia controls as well as high-salt-diet episodic hypoxia-exposed rats. Ad lib and low-salt episodic hypoxia rats showed an increase in MAP from 106 and 104 mmHg at baseline to 112 and 113 mmHg, respectively ( P < 0.05). Whole kidney renin mRNA was suppressed in high-salt controls and episodic hypoxia rats, whereas kidney AT1a mRNA showed opposite changes. Suppression of the renin-angiotensin system with a high-salt diet blocks the increase in MAP in episodic hypoxia-challenged rats, in part by suppressing local tissue renin levels. Upregulation of the tissue angiotensin II system appears to be necessary for the chronic blood pressure changes that occur from episodic hypoxia.

Intrauterine environments are related to fetal renal development and postnatal health. Influence of salty diets during pregnancy on renal functions and renin–angiotensin system (RAS) was determined in the ovine fetuses and offspring. Pregnant ewes were fed high-salt diet (HSD) or normal-salt diet (NSD) for 2 months during middle-to-late gestation. Fetal renal functions, plasma hormones, and mRNA and protein expressions of the key elements of renal RAS were measured in the fetuses and offspring. Fetal renal excretion of sodium was increased while urine volume decreased in the HSD group. Fetal blood urea nitrogen was increased, while kidney weight:body weight ratio decreased in the HSD group. The altered ratio was also observed in the offspring aged 15 and 90 days. Maternal and fetal plasma antidiuretic hormone was elevated without changes in plasma renin activity and Ang I levels, while plasma Ang II was decreased. The key elements of local renal RAS, including angiotensinogen, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), ACE2, AT1, and AT2receptor expression in both mRNA and protein, except renin, were altered following maternal high salt intake. The results suggest that high intake of salt during pregnancy affected fetal renal development associated with an altered expression of the renal key elements of RAS, some alterations of fetal origins remained after birth as possible risks in developing renal or cardiovascular diseases.
