Involvement of Dopamine in Development of Hypertension in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat: Effect of Carbidopa, Inhibitor of Peripheral DOPA Decarboxylase

Abstract: The demonstration of acceleration of hypertension was investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with carbidopa, inhibitor of peripheral dopa decarboxylase. Oral administration of carbidopa to young SHR for 4 weeks accelerated significantly (P less than 0.05) development of hypertension as compared to SHR treated with vehicle. Urinary excretion of dopamine (DA) (P less than 0.01) and renal content of DA (P less than 0.02) were significantly decreased by carbidopa treatment. Urinary excretion… Show more

“…There is considerable evidence that DA plays an important role in regulating blood pressure through a variety of central and peripheral dopaminergic mechanisms (Taylor et al 1983;Yoshimura et al 1987). In the periphery, DA is involved in the regulation of NA release from sympathetic nerves, regulation of natriuresis in the kidneys and the modulation of release of various hormones such as aldosterone (Yoshimura et al 1993b).…”

“…Urinary Excretion of DOPA and DA during Altered Dietary Intake Dietary salt loading increases urinary DA excretion in animals (21,29) and humans (30)(31)(32). Consistent with sodium-induced compensatory activation of a renal dopaminergic natriuretic system, administration of the DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor, carbidopa, impairs natriuresis acutely, with the magnitude of impairment correlated with the magnitude of decrease in DA excretion (33)(34)(35)(36). Dietary salt loading also increases urinary excretion of DOPA in animals (21) and humans (31,32).…”

“…SHR kidneys show uncoupling between the D 1 -like receptor and its effector enzyme complex in proximal tubules, leading to a failure of dopamine to inhibit proximal tubular luminal sodium/hydrogen exchanger and sodium/potassium ATPase activity. Chronic inhibition of dopamine biosynthesis accelerates the development of hypertension in SHR [ 30 ].…”
