In this study 3 protocols were utilized to determine the role of endogenous kinins in the resistance of the inbred Dahl (Rapp) salt‐resistant (SR/Jr) rats to high salt diet‐induced blood pressure elevation.The bradykinin B2receptor antagonist, Hoe 140 (D‐Arg[Hyp3, Thi5,D‐Tic7, Oic8]‐bradykinin) at doses of either 10–20 or 20–40 nmol day−1(subcutaneously (s.c), via osmotic minipumps, for either 1 or 3 weeks during a high (8%) salt diet) effectively blocked or attenuated the hypotensive responses to 100–1000 ng of bradykinin.In the first protocol, 5 week old SR/Jr rats treated with Hoe 140 (10–20 nmol day−1,n=9, s.c., via osmotic minipumps) for 3 weeks and concomitantly fed high (8%) NaCl diet had significantly higher conscious tail cuff blood pressures (BPc) at 1 and 3 weeks when compared with rats treated with vehicle (0.9% NaCl,n=6). The differences in BPc between the 2 groups were 13 mmHg (P<0.001) after 1 week and 8 mmHg (P<0.05) after 3 weeks of treatment.In the second protocol, 5 week old SR/Jr rats were treated with Hoe 140 (20–40 nmol day−1,n=8, s.c., via osmotic minipumps) or vehicle (n=8) for 3 weeks. During the first week of treatment the rats were fed normal (0.8%) NaCl diet. The rats were then switched to 8% NaCl for 2 remaining weeks of the protocol. The mean BPc of Hoe 140‐treated rats was not significantly different from that of the vehicle‐treated rats when fed 0.8% NaCl diet. In contrast, rats treated with Hoe 140 and concomitantly fed high (8%) NaCl diet had significantly increased BPc (123±2 vs 111±1 mmHg,P<0.001 for the Hoe 140‐ and vehicle‐treated rats, respectively).In the third protocol, treatment with Hoe 140 (20–40 nmol day−1, s.c., via osmotic minipumps) during high salt diet did not increase BPc in rats that were pre‐exposed to the high salt diet for 2 weeks.At the end of 3 weeks of study, blood pressure was measured via an arterial catheter during pentobarbitone‐induced anaesthesia. Rats treated with Hoe 140 for 1 or 3 weeks had significantly lower mean arterial blood pressures than the vehicle‐treated rats.Our findings suggest that in SR/Jr rats, kinin activation of bradykinin B2receptors at least partially contributes to early regulatory mechanisms that resist an increase in blood pressure following exposure to a high salt diet. The mechanism underlying the decreased blood pressure during pentobarbitone anaesthesia of SR/Jr rats chronically treated with Hoe 140 has yet to be elucidated.
