Popis: The influence of common salt (NaCl) and a novel potassium-, magnesium-, and L-lysine-enriched mineral salt on the cardiovascular and renal effects of the selective imidazoline I1-receptor agonist moxonidine was examined in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Common salt was added at the level of 6% of the dry weight of the chow, and mineral salt at a 75% higher level of 10.5% thereof to produce the same NaCl concentration of 6% as in the common salt group. During the control diet an 8-week oral treatment with moxonidine (117 mg/1000 g of the dry weight of the chow producing an approximate daily dose of 10 mg/kg), lowered blood pressure by 13 mmHg. The common salt diet alone raised blood pressure by 27 mmHg. Moxonidine lowered blood pressure by 21 mmHg during the common salt diet, but the blood pressure remained 19 mmHg higher than in the moxonidine-treated SHR receiving the control diet (P
