title: [Comparison of the cardiac, renal and endocrine effects of converting enzyme inhibition with those of a classical triple therapy in experimental renal hypertension].
abstract: In the rat model of hypertension induced by a clip on the right renal artery, sparing the left kidney, we compared the efficacity and the endocrine, renal and cardiac effects of classical therapy (CT) of hypertension (Clonidine 0.2 mg/kg and Dihydralazine 15 mg/kg in 2 daily subcutaneous injections and Furosemide 30 mg/kg/day in the drinking water), with inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme with a new drug, the S-9490-3 (0.5 mg/kg in one daily administration). The untreated animals (HT: n = 12) had an average systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 215 +/- 32 mmHg. After 1 month' treatment, S-9490-3 (n = 13) lowers SBP to 144 +/- 32 mmHg compared to CT (n = 12) which lowered SBP to only 172 +/- 18 mmHg. The average plasma renin concentrations of the HT animals was four times the normal value (39 +/- 33 ng/ml/h) and both treatment regimes increased it further (S-9490-3: 129 +/- 65 ng/ml/h; CT: 97 +/- 73 ng/ml/h). Angiotensin levels fell in proportion to the increase in renin concentration. Plasma aldosterone was normalised by S-9490-3 (460 +/- 320 pg/ml) but remained as high after CT (850 +/- 650 pg/ml) as in the untreated HT animals (830 +/- 260 pg/ml). Despite the Furosemide, plasma volume increased significantly in the CT group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
