Hypotensive Response

High dietary intake of linoleic acid lowers arterial pressure, and, in vitro, linoleic acid inhibits the enzymatic activity of renin. The purpose of the present study was 1) to evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of linoleic acid on blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive Sprague-Dawley rats and 2) to determine whether the hypotensive response to linoleic acid infusion is caused by inhibition of circulating renin. Blood pressure was decreased (P less than 0.01) by linoleic acid infusion in normotensive sodium chloride-deprived animals and in animals with two-kidney, one-clip hypertension. In contrast, linoleic acid infusion did not affect blood pressure in normotensive rats on a "normal" or high sodium chloride intake, in rats with deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension, and in anephric rats. In sodium chloride-deprived rats, the reduction of blood pressure by linoleic acid infusion was associated with increased plasma renin activity (P less than 0.05); serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity was unchanged. The in vitro enzymatic activity of exogenous renin in plasma of anephric rats was not affected by linoleic acid infusion. In two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive animals, pretreatment with indomethacin did not alter the hypotensive response to linoleic acid. Thus, although linoleic acid infusion lowered blood pressure in high renin but not in low renin states, the reduction of blood pressure was not related to inhibition of circulating renin or to alterations of endogenous prostaglandin biosynthesis.
