| abstractText | Western diet (WD) intake increases morbidity of obesity and salt-sensitive hypertension albeit mechanisms are largely unknown. We investigated the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in WD intake-induced hypertension. TRPV1(-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were fed a normal (CON) or Western diet (WD) for 16-18 weeks. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) after normal sodium glucose (NSG) loading with or without L-NAME (a NO synthase inhibitor) or N-oleoyldopamine (OLDA, a TRPV1agonist) was not different between the two strains on CON.WT or TRPV1(-/-) mice fed WD had increased MAP after NSG, with a greater magnitude in TRPV1(-/-) mice. OLDA decreased while L-NAME increased MAP in WT-WD but not in TRPV1(-/-)-WD mice. The urinary nitrates plus nitrites excretion (UNOx), an indicator of renal NO production, was increased in both strains on CON after NSG. TRPV1 ablation with WD intake abolished NSG-induced increment in UNOx. OLDA further increased while L-NAME prevented NSG-induced increment in UNOx in WT-WD mice. Urinary sodium excretion was increased in both strains on CON and in WT-WD mice but not in TRPV1(-/-)-WD mice after NSG. OLDA further increased while L-NAME prevented NSG-induced increases in sodium excretion in WT-WD but not in TRPV1(-/-)-WD mice. Thus, TRPV1 ablation increases salt sensitivity during WD intake possibly via impaired renal NO production and sodium excretion. Activation of TRPV1 enhances renal NO production and sodium excretion, resulting in prevention of increased salt sensitivity during WD intake. |
