L-arginine supplementation lowers blood pressure, protein excretion and plasma lipid profile in experimental salt-induced hypertension in pregnancy: Relevance to preeclampsia.
Pathophysiology : the Official Journal of the International Society for Pathophysiology 2019 September
This study aimed to investigate the effects of L-arginine supplementation on blood pressure, protein excretion, lipid profile in salt-induced hypertensive pregnant rats. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups. Control Preg (normal rat chow). Control Preg + L-ARG (normal rat chow and daily oral L-Arginine from 16th - 20th week). Salt Preg (high salt diet, 8%). Salt Preg + L-ARG (high salt diet, 8% and daily oral L-Arginine from 16th - 20th week. Non-invasive BP was recorded using a tail-cuff machine at 1 st and 2nd trimesters. On day 19 of pregnancy, invasive BP was obtained by carotid artery cannulation connected to LabChart-7 pro software. This was followed by blood samples collection for lipid profile analysis. L-arginine significantly reduced (P < 0.05) systolic, diastolic, MAP at 1 st, 2nd trimesters, day 19 of pregnancy, LDL, plasma and urinary creatinine and protein levels in Control Preg + L-ARG and Salt Preg + L-ARG groups compared to other groups. Urinary Na + and K + were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in Salt Preg + L-ARG group compared to other groups. Total cholesterol level was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in salt groups compared to control groups. Triglyceride level and urine volume were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in Salt Preg group compared to other groups. It also significantly increased (P < 0.05) HDL in Control Preg + L-ARG and Salt Preg + L-ARG groups compared to other groups. L-arginine supplementation ameliorates some deleterious effects in salt- induced hypertensive pregnant rats possibly through its known NO vasodilatory effect and might also mediate a diuretic like action.
