Whether a high plasma aldosterone concentration induced by strict salt restriction promotes cardiac remodeling remains controversial. Male Sprague-Dawley rats at 10weeks of age were given normal salt (NS) (1.5% NaCl) or low salt (LS) (0.05% NaCl) diets. Each animal underwent aortocaval fistula creation for volume-overloaded heart failure or sham surgery. All rats with a fistula received either vehicle or a non-hypotensive dose of spironolactone (200mg/kg/day) by gavage. Two weeks later, the LS diet significantly increased the plasma aldosterone level in the sham-operated and fistula-created rats (2677+/-662pg/ml and 2406+/-422pg/ml) compared with that in rats given the NS diet (518+/-18pg/ml and 362+/-45pg/ml, respectively). In sham-operated rats, the difference in plasma aldosterone level did not affect the extent of myocardial fibrosis (1.8+/-0.1% with LS diet vs. 1.5+/-0.3% with NS diet). However, the increase in myocardial fibrosis in fistula-created rats was more prominent with the LS diet than with the NS diet (4.7+/-0.3% vs. 3.4+/-0.1%). In addition, the fistula-created rats on the LS diet expressed significantly increased oxidative stress and transforming growth factor-beta compared with those on the NS diets (P<0.05). These increases in the fistula-created rats on the LS diet were significantly suppressed by the non-hypotensive dose of spironolactone (P<0.05). These results suggest that increased plasma aldosterone level with strict salt restriction activated the mineralocorticoid receptor signaling in volume-overloaded condition, resulting in increased myocardial fibrosis.
