Abstract

In the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), caloric restriction without sodium restriction is associated with reduced blood pressure. Four days of fasting lowered blood pressure 19% while 4 days of eating 50% of ad lib intake reduced blood pressure 10%. Similar dietary changes had less effect on blood pressure in normotensive rats of the same strain (Wistar-Kyoto-WKY). These data are consistent with the hypothesis that caloric restriction lowers sympathetic activity.
