Stocker et al Advances in Neurogenic Hypertension 475 manner. 11 Importantly, inhibition of organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis neurons largely attenuates sympathoexcitatory responses to central infusion of hypertonic NaCl. 11 Central hypernatremia increases glutamatergic activation of bulbospinal neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) to increase SNA. 7 Interestingly, central NaCl stimulation produced 3 divergent responses in RVLM neurons, including an increase in discharge, no change, or a decrease in cell discharge. 7 The complexity of the RVLM responses likely reflects the sympathetic signature associated with changes in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid NaCl concentrations. A major caveat of the above studies is that the manipulations in NaCl concentrations were acute. Yet, blockade of excitatory amino receptors or angiotensin type I receptors in the RVLM reduces ABP in Dahl salt–sensitive rats fed a high salt diet. 15, 16 Future investigations need to define the impact of chronic elevation in NaCl concentrations on the level of SNA across different end organs, the activity of NaCl-sensing neurons, and how such neurons sense NaCl. 17Dietary salt intake also alters the excitability of hypothalamic vasopressin (VP) neurons to exaggerate VP secretion or regulate SNA. Neurons maintain low intracellular chloride concentrations through Cl− influx via NKCC1 (sodium-potassium-2-chloride transporter 1) and efflux via KCC2 (potassium-chloride-cotransporter 2). 18 Excess salt intake shifts the ECl− to a more positive or depolarized value—the net effect is a loss of GABAergic-mediated inhibition. For example, VP neurons of deoxycorticosterone-salt hypertensive rats display a depolarized ECl−, a GABAergic excitation of VP neurons and pressor response, and a reversal of baroreceptor-mediated inhibition to excitation of VP neuronal activity. 19, 20 Blockade of brain NKCC1 with bumetanide attenuates the altered ECl− and lowers ABP in deoxycorticosterone-salt hypertension. 19, 20 Chronic salt loading via access to 2% NaCl also shifts ECl− of VP neurons to a depolarized value through a reduction in KCC2 expression via brain-derived neurotrophic factor. 21 The net effect is a loss of baroreceptor-mediated inhibition of VP neurons and hypertension, at least partly, mediated by circulating VP levels. Finally, VP may also regulate SNA through local release within the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVH). 22 Blockade of V1a receptors in the PVH decreases lumbar SNA and ABP after chronic salt loading. 23 Although a high salt diet does not raise ABP in laboratory animals (classically known as salt resistance), excess salt intake exaggerates sympathoexcitatory and sympathoinhibitory responses evoked from the RVLM. 24–27 These responses are functionally significant as salt-resistant rats fed a high salt diet display exaggerated SNA and ABP responses to the activation of sciatic afferents, 28 exercise, 29 stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve or vagal afferents, 28 volume expansion, 28 and intracerebroventricular infusion of NaCl. 28 These effects occur independently of changes in baseline SNA or mean ABP. 28 Interestingly, a high salt diet increases ABP variability in salt-resistant animals. 28 This observation has significant clinical ramifications as increased ABP variability is a risk factor for end-organ damage, development of CV disease, and predictor for future adverse CV events. 30, 31 Collectively, these data suggest that dietary salt may adversely affect the gain of sympathetic regulatory networks. Future experiments need to
