Hypertonic solutions of 0.3 M NaCl infused into the 3rd ventricle (ICV) for 20 min in urethane-anesthetized rats consistently elevated mean aortic pressure by about 10 mm Hg. Heart rate and sympathetic nerve activity diminished slightly during the first few minutes but then accelerated to attain higher than preinfusion levels. By contrast, ICV infusions were ineffective; 0.6 M urea were slightly depressor, while 0.3 M ammonium chloride elevated blood pressure without affecting sympathetic nerve activity. In rats pretreated with a vasopressin antagonist, the early hypertonic NaCl pressor effects were inhibited, while sympathetic nerve firing, instead of being initially inhibited, increased from the onset. The blood pressure elevation occurring during the first 5 min of ICV infusion was considered partly due to vasoconstriction caused by increased endogenous vasopressin secretion and subsequent blood pressure elevation maintenance after the first 10 in was attributed to sympathetic overactivity. Because pressor and sympathetic nerve responses were substantially enhanced following bilateral vagotomy or sinoaortic denervation, it was considered that responsiveness to hypertonic NaCl in intact rats is inhibited by both cardiopulmonary and sinoaortic baroreceptor afferents. Augmentation of pressor responsiveness following baroreceptor afferent pathway interruption suggests that increases in sympathetic activity and blood pressure produced by hypertonic NaCl could contribute to salt-induced hypertension, particularly when baroreceptor buffering becomes deficient.
