Plasma catecholamine and renin activity levels were measured across a range of dietary Na intakes (10-300 meq[equivalent]/day) in 20 normal male volunteers, as a baseline for later comparison with hypertensive patients. Supine plasma norepinephrine levels presented a triphasic pattern in relation to urine Na, whereas epinephrine levels were not significantly altered by Na intake, and renin showed the well-known hyperbolic relationship to urine Na excretion. Highest supine norepinephrine values occurred at low salt intakes, the lowest when Na excretion was from 100-180 meq/day, and intermediate when Na excretion was greater than 180 meq/day. Na intake is evidently an important consideration in the interpretation of plasma norepinephrine levels.
