Popis: Cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid modulate the natriuretic effect of furosemide. It is not known whether 20-HETE, a monooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid that also inhibits sodium transport, participates in the action of furosemide. We measured urine sodium (UNaV) and 20-HETE during furosemide diuresis (40 mg three times over 12 hours) in 12 salt-sensitive (SS) and 11 salt-resistant (SR), salt-replete hypertensive subjects (126±24 mmol/24 hours positive sodium balance produced by 160-mmol-sodium diet and 2 L saline infusion). Individual systolic blood pressure decreases from the salt-replete to the salt-depleted state were the index of salt-sensitivity. SS had low plasma renin with blunted responses to changes in salt balance, inappropriate plasma aldosterone, and an increased aldosterone/renin ratio. UNaV by furosemide was less in SS (263±25 mmol/12 hours) than in SR (351±25 mmol/12 hours, P P r =0.56, P r =−0.55, P r =0.60, P r =−0.73, P
