title: [Effect of an antiglucocorticoid steroid on the arterial hypertension induced by glucocorticoids in the rat].
abstract: Hypertension was induced in male rats by administration of a glucocorticoid agonist, RU 26988. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased by 35 mmHg. Administration of an antimineralocorticoid derivative, RU 28318, did not modify hypertension. In contrast administration of a steroid derivative with antiglucocorticoid properties, RU 38486, prevented glucocorticoid-induced hypertension in a large part. SBP augmented only by 10 mmHg. The glucocorticoid increased total and active, ouabain-sensitive, 22Na efflux, as measured from caudal arteries, whereas concomitant administration of the antiglucocorticoid derivative prevented these changes. It is suggested that glucocorticoid-induced hypertension may be related to vascular Na pump activation and to the subsequent ionic changes. These changes, as well as hypertension, are antagonized by steroid derivatives with antiglucocorticoid properties.
