Regression of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in SHR following chronic inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger

Experiments were performed to examine the effect of chronic inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform-1 (NHE-1) on cardiac hypertrophy of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR were orally treated during 1 month with two different doses (0.3 and 3.0 mg/kg/day) of the NHE-1 inhibitor, caripo...

Zusammenfassung:Experiments were performed to examine the effect of chronic inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform-1 (NHE-1) on cardiac hypertrophy of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR were orally treated during 1 month with two different doses (0.3 and 3.0 mg/kg/day) of the NHE-1 inhibitor, cariporide, or nifedipine (10.0 mg/kg/day). The two doses of cariporide did not differ in their effects after 1 month of treatment, since both induced a slight decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) of approximately 6 mmHg and regression of the heart weight to body weight ratio (mg/g) from 3.28+/-0.05 to 3.04+/-0.05 (0.3 mg) and 2.99+/-0.10 (3.0 mg, P
