Abstract
Male Sprague-Dawley derived rats fed a moderately high Na diet became hypertensive by the 6th dietary mo. After the 12th dietary mo., the urinary excretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine was moderately increased in this group. The inclusion of a small dietary supplement of K in the diet had an ameliorating effect upon the development of hypertension and resulted in lower excretion rate for catecholamines.
