Enalapril induces regression of cardiac hypertrophy and normalization of pHi regulatory mechanisms

Hypertension
Irene L EnnisHoracio E Cingolani

Abstract

Intracellular pH is under strict control in myocardium; H+ are extruded from the cells by sodium-dependent mechanisms, mainly Na+/H+ exchanger and Na+/HCO3- symport, whereas Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchanger extrudes bases on intracellular alkalinization. Hypertrophic myocardium from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) exhibits increased Na+/H+ exchange activity that is accompanied by enhanced extrusion of bases through Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- exchange. The present experiments were designed to investigate the effect of enalapril-induced regression of cardiac hypertrophy on the activity of these exchangers. Male SHR and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) received enalapril maleate (20 mg/kg per day) in the drinking water for 5 weeks. Gender- and age-matched SHR and WKY were used as untreated controls. Enalapril treatment significantly reduced systolic blood pressure in SHR and completely regressed cardiac hypertrophy. Na+/H+ activity was estimated in terms of both steady pHi value in HEPES buffer and the rate of pHi recovery from CO2-induced acid load. Na+-independent Cl-/HCO3- activity was assessed by measuring the rate of pHi recovery from intracellular alkalinization produced by trimethylamine exposure. Regression of ...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly here.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
