Despite this, there are no data on the regulation of plasma endothelin by salt balance in human hypertension.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014Plasma endothelin was measured in 47 patients with essential hypertension. Endothelin, catecholamine, and plasma renin activity (PRA) responses to 24-hour sodium deprivation (\u2193Na) were assessed in 29 of these patients. Endothelin was higher in hypertensive patients (4.6\u00b10.2 fmol\/mL) than in 20 control subjects (3.3\u00b10.3 fmol\/mL,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.002), was correlated with BP, and was negatively associated with PRA (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.04). Salt-sensitive, salt-resistant, and indeterminate groups were defined by the tertiles of the\n            <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n            statistic for the difference in BP before and after \u2193Na. Systolic BP falls were \u221215\u00b11, \u22122\u00b12, and \u22129\u00b11 mm Hg, respectively. PRA, its response to \u2193Na, and its level after \u2193Na were lowest (albeit nonsignificant) in salt-sensitive patients. Baseline catecholamine and endothelin levels did not differ among the groups. In response to \u2193Na, catecholamines increased more significantly in salt-sensitive patients (+2.4\u00b10.9 nmol\/L) than in the other groups (0.4\u00b10.2 and 0.7\u00b10.2 nmol\/L for indeterminate and salt-resistant groups, respectively;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.03), whereas endothelin increased in the salt-sensitive group (0.8\u00b10.3 fmol\/mL), decreased in the salt-resistant group (\u22120.4\u00b10.3 fmol\/mL), and sustained minimal change in the indeterminate group (0.2\u00b10.3 fmol\/mL) (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.04). Thus, endothelin levels in the salt-depleted state were highest in salt-sensitive patients (5.2\u00b10.4 fmol\/mL) versus the other groups (3.4\u00b10.4 and 4.4\u00b10.4 fmol\/mL for salt-resistant and indeterminate groups, respectively) (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.02). Changes in endothelin during \u2193Na and levels after \u2193Na were correlated with changes in catecholamines (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.02).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014Our data suggest that salt-depleted salt-sensitive hypertensives with blunted renin responses exhibit enhanced catecholamine-stimulated endothelin levels and may therefore respond better than unselected patients with essential hypertension to endothelin receptor blockers.\n
