    AnnotationThe contribution of major vasoactive systems (renin-angiotensin system, sympathetic nervous system and nitric oxide) to blood pressure maintenance and the possible involvement of superoxide anions in the reduced efficiency of NO-dependent vasodilation to counterbalance sympathetic vasoconstriction were studied in salt hypertensive Dahl rats. It was demonstrated that NO system is not able to counterbalance effectively the hyperactivity of sympathetic nervous system in salt hypertensive Dahl rats. The predominance of sympathetic vasoconstriction over NO-dependent vasodilation could partially be explained by enhanced NO inactivation due to augmented superoxide anion formation in hypertensive animals.
