Abstract

We evaluated the effects of selective dietary chloride loading (without sodium) on plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone in the sodium-deprived Sprague-Dawley rat. Three groups of animals were fed one of the following diets for 13 days: 1) low NaCl; 2) high NaCl; or 3) low sodium, high chloride, provided as glycine hydrochloride. Compared with NaCl-deprived animals, PRA and plasma aldosterone were lower (P less than 0.01) in animals fed low sodium high chloride, whereas aldosterone in animals fed glycine hydrochloride was higher (P less than 0.01) than that of NaCl-deprived animals. In contrast, plasma concentrations of corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone were not increased by selective chloride loading. Glycine chloride-fed animals were acidotic and had elevated plasma concentrations of potassium and ionized calcium. Thus stimulation of aldosterone by selective chloride loading is not related to PRA or ACTH but may be due to a direct effect of acidosis or an indirect effect of acidosis on potassium and/or calcium. Additionally, selective chloride loading appears to stimulate the conversion of 18-hydroxycorticosterone to aldosterone.
