Continuous measurement and servo control (SC) of total body weight of unrestrained rats were used to investigate the role of volume expansion in the development of hypertension in Dahl salt-resistant (SR) and Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats. A change in sodium intake from 1 to 20 meq/day was associated with an increase in total body weight of 7.2% in both SS and SR rats over 96 h. Plasma sodium (pNa) increased from 145.0 to 147.4 meq/l in both SS (n = 10) and Sr (n = 10) rats. Only in the SS rats was the volume expansion associated with an increase in arterial pressure of 27 .+-. 3 mmHg. Prevention of the volume expansion by SC blocked the rise in arterial pressure in the SS rats (n = 10) but increased pNa from 143.5 to 152.4 meq/l. Hematocrit fell from 36.6 to 27.5% in both non-SC groups but decreased less in SC groups (35.7 to 32.0%). Plasma volume expansion from 17.6 .+-. 0.6 to 25.2 .+-. 0.8 ml in non-SC rats was greatly blunted by SC. In non-SC rats, SS (n = 10) and SR (n = 9) rats an increase in salt intake was associated with a rise in cardiac output from 413 .+-. 6 to 507 .+-. 12 ml .cntdot. min-1 .cntdot. kg-1 in both groups. These results indicate that fluid retention is required to trigger the rise of pressure in Dahl SS rats.
