Bilateral electrolytic lesions in the hypothalamus of the rat elicited either a decrease or increase in 2% NaCl intake, without a significant change in water ingestion. Lesions placed in the anterior hypothalamus involving supraoptic or paraventricular nuclei, or both, resulted in a conspicuous fall (as much as 93%) of NaCl intake. The decreased consumption remained to the end of the experiments which in some rats lasted 105 days and was accompanied by a decrease in NaCl urinary output. On the contrary, lesions placed in the central hypothalamus determined a specific increase of NaCl intake together with an augmented urinary excretion. The increased ingestion was permanent and lasted to the end of the experiment, attaining in one rat the value of 290%. To account for these results two provisional explanations are advanced, one of them considering the possibility of the existence of two areas of opposite effects regarding NaCl ingestion and the other claiming a neurohumoral mechanism in which oxytocin and aldosterone could be the two responsible hormones.

The borderline hypertensive rat is the first filial offspring of the spontaneously hypertensive rat and the Wistar-Kyoto rat. With increased dietary sodium chloride intake, the borderline hypertensive rat develops hypertension and exaggerated cardiovascular and renal responses to acute environmental stress, similar to those observed in the hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rat parent. In other models of sodium chloride-sensitive hypertension with different genetic background (Dahl rat), dietary potassium chloride supplementation protects against the development of hypertension, increased sympathetic nervous system activity, and exaggerated responses to acute environmental stress. This investigation sought to determine whether the dietary sodium chloride-induced development of both the hypertension and the exaggerated responses to acute environmental stress could be reversed or prevented by increased dietary potassium chloride intake. Dietary potassium chloride intake was increased with a 1% potassium chloride drinking solution either after 12 wk of 8% sodium chloride intake (reversal) or concomitant with the onset of 12 wk of 8% sodium chloride intake (prevention). An increase in dietary potassium chloride intake did not reverse or prevent the development of either the hypertension or the exaggerated cardiovascular and renal responses to acute environmental stress in borderline hypertensive rats fed 8% sodium chloride. It is concluded that the difference in genetic background between borderline hypertensive rats and other models of sodium chloride-sensitive hypertension is an important determinant of the protective effect of dietary potassium chloride supplementation.
