1. Partial replacement of sodium by potassium in the diet attenuates the rise in blood pressure in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP). 2. The blood pressure-lowering effect of potassium cannot be ascribed to a reduction in intravascular volume. 3. The increased dietary intake of potassium leads to a reduced stimulation of the sympathoneuronal and sympathoadrenal system by cold compared with the response of sodium-loaded rats. 4. The impaired inactivation of noradrenaline observed in sodium-loaded SHR-SP is improved in SHR-SP on a potassium-substituted diet. 5. It is concluded that changes in dietary intake of sodium and potassium modulate sympathetic activity and the metabolism of noradrenaline, both of which are related to the development of hypertension in SHR-SP.

1. Erythrocyte catechol-O-methyltransferase was studied in a population sample of 147 subjects. 2. There was a wide interindividual variability of catechol-O-methyltransferase activity, which was not unimodally distributed. Catechol-O-methyltransferase activity was not influenced by blood pressure, age or sex, nor was it related to plasma noradrenaline or urinary catecholamines or metanephrines. 3. It is not likely that inactivation of noradrenaline by O-methylation at least by erythrocytes is an important mechanism determining plasma noradrenaline, let alone arterial pressure.

1. Chronic hypertension was induced in Wistar rats with intact kidneys by subcutaneous implantation of 50 mg of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOC A) in wax and addition of sodium chloride (9 g/l) to the drinking water. 2. The development of DOCA/salt hypertension, as monitored by tail-cuff plethysmography, was prevented by: (a) destruction of the peripheral adrenergic nerves with neonatal administration of guanethidine (80 mg/kg subcutaneously for the first 14 days postnatally); (b) bilateral stellate ganglionectomy; (c) oral administration of the β-adrenoreceptor antagonists propranolol or atenolol (1 mg day−1 kg−1) during the period of DOCA/salt treatment. 3. The dose of DOCA used was sufficient to inhibit the atrial Uptake2 pathway completely: this process appears to participate in termination of action of neurally released noradrenaline in the heart. 4. It is suggested that this model of DOCA/salt hypertension is due to adrenergic enhancement of cardiac output in the presence of an increased sodium load. The enhancement may be partly due to deficient myocardial inactivation of noradrenaline.
