Mean arterial pressure (mm Hg, left) and blood glucose concentration (mg/dL, right) in bromocriptine-(closed circles) or vehicle- (open circles) treated rats fed the high sodium diet. Bromocriptine-treated rats were hypertensive; intravenous infusion of γ2-MSH (top), phentolamine (middle), or hydralazine (bottom) at the infusion rates indicated rapidly corrected the hypertension. However, only γ-MSH and phentolamine corrected the hyperglycemia; hydralazine had a trivial effect on blood glucose concentration despite its effect on blood pressure. *, bromocriptine value significantly greater than vehicle, P < 0.01 or greater; †, value significantly different from corresponding control value, P < 0.01 or greater, repeated-measures ANOVA.
