Abstract

Summary1. Restricted food intake resulted in smaller increases of blood pressure in intact as well as in adrenal-enucleated (AE) rats when compared with corresponding controls but fed ad libitum. However, AE rats showed a greater increase in blood pressure when compared with intact rats, and this holds particularly for the food-restricted groups. 2. A 10-day realimentation regimen following periods of restricted feeding resulted in greater increases of blood pressure in formerly food-restricted AE rats than in corresponding intact animals. This increase in blood pressure occurred although the AE rats did not ingest more NaCl than the ad libitum-fed AE rats and intact controls. 3. It may be concluded that the regenerating adrenal does not lose its hypertensive potential despite food and thus NaCl restriction.
