Abstrakt: The aim of this study was to compare, under resting conditions, the influence of chronic training in swimming or running on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the involvement of the natriuretic peptide system in this response. Two-month-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were divided into three groups-sedentary (SD), swimming (SW) and running (RN)-and were trained for eight weeks under regimens of similar intensities. Atria tissue and plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. ANP mRNA levels in the right and left atria as well as the natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR), NPR-A and NPR-C, mRNA levels in the kidney were determined by real-time PCR. Autoradiography was used to quantify NPR-A and NPR-C in mesenteric adipose tissue. Both training modalities, swimming and running, reduced the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of SHR. Swimming, but not running, training increased plasma levels of ANP compared to the sedentary group (P<0.05). Expression of ANP mRNA in the left atrium was reduced in the RN compared to the SD group (P<0.05). Expression of NPR-A and NPR-C in the kidneys of the SW group decreased significantly (P<0.05) compared to the SD group. Although swimming increased (125)I-ANP binding to mesenteric adipose tissue, displacement by c-ANF was reduced, indicating a reduction of NPR-C. These results suggest that the MAP reduction induced by exercise in SHR differs in its mechanisms between the training modalities, as evidenced by the finding that increased levels of ANP were only observed after the swimming regimen.
