Abstract

1. The diet of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Wistar (NWR) rats was supplemented with either 2% calcium lactate in the drinking water or 12.5 micrograms vitamin D3 100 g-1 body weight daily by gavage, for 14 days. 2. The blood pressure of the SHR treated with either calcium or vitamin D decreased to the same levels as that of WKY and NWR. 3. The response to bradykinin of the SHR isolated duodenum, which is predominantly contractile, upon treatment with vitamin D (but not with calcium), became predominantly relaxant, approaching the normal behavior of the WKY and NWR duodenum. 4. The relaxant responses of the SHR and WKY duodenum to potassium were smaller than those of NWR, but treatment with vitamin D increased the response in all three rat strains. 5. It is concluded that, besides sharing the hypotensive effect of calcium, vitamin D treatment of SHR has an effect on the duodenum smooth muscle which might be due to calmodulin-dependent activation of calcium-dependent potassium channels.
