Calcium Supplementation Inhibits the Expression of Parathyroid Hypertensive Factor in DOCA-Salt Hypertensive Rats

Abstract: To elucidate the antihypertensive mechanism of oral calcium supplementation in salt-dependent hypertension, we investigated the hypertensive activity of plasma from DOCA-salt hypertensive rats fed with (DS-Ca) or without (DS) a high calcium diet. Four weeks of calcium supplementation (4% CaCl2) attenuated the blood pressure increase in DS rats. Intravenous bolus injection of dialyzed plasma (1.0-kDa cutoff) from DS rats to normotensive rats resulted in a sustained elevation in blood pressure, whereas that from… Show more

“…Mothers who have had toxaemia or high blood pressure during pregnancy tend to have children who have high blood pressure until adolescence 19. The parathyroid gland25 and parathyroid hypertensive factor26 could be associated with this effect. Lower levels of these factors could reduce peripheral resistance and pulse pressure during fetal life, protecting against a rise in blood pressure later in life.…”

“…It should, however, be borne in mind that a hypertensive substance named parathyroid hypertensive factor (PHF), which is a peptide of parathyroid origin different from PTH, has been isolated in hypertensive rats and in the blood circulation of hypertensive patients. Besides, this vasopressor substance has also calciotropic properties and could also be involved in the increased ABP associated with the hyperparathyroidism caused by dietary calcium deficiency [55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63]. …”
