BackgroundRodents with deficiency of or resistance to the proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide γ-melanocyte stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) develop marked salt-sensitive hypertension. We asked whether this hypertension was accompanied by abnormal glucose metabolism.Methodsγ-MSH-deficient Pc2−/−mice, and resistant Mc3r−/−mice were studied acutely for measurement of blood pressure and glucose and insulin concentrations after ≥1 week of a high-sodium diet (HSD; 8% NaCl) compared to a normal-sodium diet (NSD; 0.4% NaCl). Mc3r−/−also underwent glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test.ResultsBoth knockout strains were hypertensive and also exhibited fasting hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on the HSD. Mc3r−/−mice on the HSD had impaired glucose tolerance and insulin-mediated glucose disposal compared to wild-type mice on either the HSD or the NSD, or to Mc3r−/−mice on the NSD.ConclusionsThese results indicate an interaction of interrupted γ-MSH signaling with the HSD to cause hypertension on the one hand and abnormal glucose metabolism, with the characteristics of insulin resistance, on the other. Further study of the nature of this interaction should provide new insight into the mechanisms by which salt-sensitive hypertension and insulin resistance are linked.
