Neuronal Responsiveness to Central Na <sup>+</sup> in 2 Congenic Strains of Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dahl salt-sensitive rats show increased Na(+) entry into the brain on high salt intake and increased sympathetic and pressor responses to central Na(+). We examined C10QTL2 and C17QTL to test whether they contribute to these phenotypes. In Dahl salt-sensitive, Lewis, and C10S.L16, and C17S.L2 congenic rats on a high salt diet for 8 to 10 days, blood pressure and heart rate were higher in Dahl salt-sensitive versus others and in C10S.L16 and C17S.L2 versus Lewis rats. Cerebrospinal fluid [Na(+)] increased by approximately 5 mmol/L in Dahl salt-sensitive, C10S.L16, and C17S.L2 compared with Lewis rats. In rats on a regular salt diet, 8-minute intracerebroventricular infusions of artificial cerebrospinal fluid with increasing [Na(+)] caused increases in blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity, which were approximately 90% larger in Dahl salt-sensitive and C17S.L2 versus Lewis rats and only 35% to 45% larger in C10S.L16 versus Lewis rats. In another set of rats on regular salt, blood pressure and heart rate were recorded by telemetry before and during intracerebroventricular infusion of Na(+)-rich cerebrospinal fluid for 14 days. Na(+)-rich cerebrospinal fluid caused significantly larger increases in blood pressure and heart rate, larger responses to air stress and more impairment of baroreflex in Dahl salt-sensitive and C17S.L2 rats versus Lewis rats. In contrast, responses in C10S.L16 rats were similar to those in Lewis rats. These data suggest that, in Dahl salt-sensitive rats, genetic variants in C10QTL2 but not C17QTL contribute to increased neuronal responsiveness to cerebrospinal fluid [Na(+)]. However, neither of them contributes to the increase in cerebrospinal fluid [Na(+)] induced by high salt.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
