Abstract
In normotensive rats, natriuresis and diuresis resulting from a presse r dose of nitric oxide (NO) inhibitors are primarily due to a pressure -natriuresis phenomenon. In the Okamoto spontaneously hypertensive rat , administration of the same dose of NO inhibitor does not increase bl ood pressure but produces exaggerated natriuresis and diuresis.
