The development of malignant hypertension was studied in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) kept on 1% NaCl as drinking water. Along with salt-loading, blood pressure gradually increased and reached a severe hypertensive level (greater than 230 mmHg), which was followed by increases in urinary protein (greater than 100 (mg/250 g body wt)/day) and plasma renin concentration (PRC, from 18.9 +/- 0.1 to 51.2 +/- 19.4 (ng/ml)/h, mean +/- SD). At this stage, renal small arteries and arterioles showed severe sclerosis and fibrinoid necrosis. Stroke was observed within a week after the onset of these renal abnormalities. The dose of exogenous angiotensin II (AII) producing 30 mmHg rise in blood pressure increased with the elevation of PRC, from 22 +/- 12 to 75 +/- 36 ng/kg, which was comparable to that in rats on water. The fall of blood pressure due to an AII inhibitor, [1-sarcosine, 8-alanine]AII (10(microgram/kg)/min for 40 min) became more prominent with the increase in PRC in salt-loaded rats, but was not detected in rats on water. These findings suggest that the activation of renin-angiotensin system participates in malignant hypertension of salt-loaded stroke-prone SHR rats that show stroke signs, proteinuria, hyperreninemia, and renovascular changes.

The aim of the present study was to compare the antihypertrophic effects of blockade of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), vasopeptidase inhibition and calcium channel antagonism on cardiac and vascular hypertrophy in diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were treated with one of the following therapies for 32 weeks: the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril (100mg/kg); the angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonist valsartan (30mg/kg); a combination of captopril with valsartan; the vasopeptidase inhibitor mixanpril (100mg/kg); or the calcium channel antagonist amlodipine (6mg/kg). Systolic blood pressure and cardiac and mesenteric artery hypertrophy were assessed. Mean systolic blood pressure in diabetic SHR (200±5mmHg) was reduced by captopril (162±5mmHg), valsartan (173±5mmHg), mixanpril (176±2mmHg) and amlodipine (159±4mmHg), and was further reduced by the combination of captopril with valsartan (131±5mmHg). Captopril, valsartan and mixanpril reduced heart and left ventricle weights by approx. 10%. The combination of captopril and valsartan further reduced heart weight (-24%) and left ventricular weight (-29%). Amlodipine did not affect cardiac hypertrophy. Only mixanpril and the combination of captopril and valsartan significantly reduced mesenteric weight. The mesenteric wall/lumen ratio was reduced by all drugs, and to a greater extent by the combination of captopril and valsartan. We conclude that optimizing the blockade of vasoconstrictive pathways such as the RAS, particularly with the combination of ACE inhibition and AT1 receptor antagonism, is associated with antitrophic effects in the context of diabetes and hypertension. In contrast, calcium channel blockade, despite similar effects on blood pressure, confers less antitrophic effects in the diabetic heart and blood vessels.

Hypertension, causing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and heart failure, has been a rising health issue worldwide. Black soybeans and adzuki beans have been widely consumed throughout history due to various bioactive components. We evaluated the antihypertensive effects of black soybean and adzuki bean ethanol extracts on blood pressure, renin-angiotensin system (RAS), and aortic lesion in spontaneously hypertensive rats. A group of WKY (normal) and six groups of spontaneously hypertensive rats were administered with saline (SHR), 50 mg/kg of captopril (CAP), 250 and 500 mg/kg of black soybean extracts (BE250 and BE500), 250 and 500 mg/kg of adzuki bean extracts (AE250 and AE500) for eight weeks. BE250, BE500, AE250, and AE500 significantly (p < 0.05) reduced relative liver weight, AST, ALT, triglyceride, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and angiotensin-converting-enzyme level compared to SHR. The angiotensin II level in AE500 and renin mRNA expression in BE500 and AE500 were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased compared to SHR. The lumen diameter was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in only CAP. Furthermore, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and angiotensin II level in AE500 were lower than those of BE500. These results suggest that AE exhibit more antihypertensive potential than BE in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Renin Angiotensin

1. Angiotensin is produced by the intrinsic iso-renin-angiotensin system. 2. Angiotensin is secreted into the cerebrospinal fluid of nephrectomized rats. 3. Angiotensin in cerebrospinal fluid elevates systemic blood pressure. 4. Rats with hereditary diabetes insipidus are virtually non-responsive to intraventricular angiotensin. 5. Angiotensin II is elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 6. An intraventricular perfusion of the angiotensin II receptor-blocking agent P 113 decreases blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
