- Abstract:
-
Studies in rat aorta have shown that the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1 is activated by vasoconstrictors and inhibited by nitrovasodilators, contributes to smooth muscle tone in vitro, and is upregulated in hypertension. To determine the role of NKCC1 in systemic vascular resistance and hypertension, blood pressure was measured in rats before and after inhibition of NKCC1 with bumetanide. Intravenous infusion of bumetanide sufficient to yield a free plasma concentration above the IC(50) for NKC...
