Abstract
This brief review describes the role of neural and non-neural mechanisms during different phases of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension. There are contradictory data for and against a role of the sympathetic nervous system and neurohumoral agents, including endothelin and vasopressin. Elucidating the factors responsible for DOCA-salt hypertension will be helpful in understanding the causes of hypertension resulting from hypervolaemia, hyperaldosteronism and high salt intake.Entities:
