Plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) paradoxically decreases after 5 weeks (but not after 3 weeks) of 8% NaCl intake in normotensive rats. As this phenomenon remains unaccounted for by changes in ANF production, we studied the disappearance of ({sup 125}I)ANF(99-126) from the circulation as an alternative explanation of plasma ANF decline. Following 5 weeks (but not 3 weeks) of an 8% NaCl diet, plasma concentrations of ({sup 125}I)ANF were significantly decreased and metabolic clearance rate and volume of distribution were increased compared to control rats fed a 0.8% NaCl diet. By studying ({sup 125}I)ANF tissue uptake we noted significantly greater peptide uptake after 5 weeks (but not after 3 weeks) of high salt consumption in several tissues. We hypothesize that prolonged (at least 5 weeks) 8% NaCl ingestion increases the density and/or affinity of ANF binding sites. These changes may be responsible for the previously observed decline in plasma ANF concentrations after a prolonged high salt intake.
