Title of your Abstract : Body weight changes during the induction of DOCA-salt hypertension
Destination Country : Canada
From : Monday, August 8, 2016
To : Wednesday, August 10, 2016
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Aim: There is evidence that confirm the link between body weight and blood pressure. In the present study, we investigated the changes of body weight and renal sodium excretion in an experimental model of hypertension.
Methods: Right nephrectomy was carried out in the all control and test male Sprague–Dawley rats. Hypertension was induced by subcutaneous deoxycorticosterone (DOCA) injection (20 mg/rat/week) and 1% sodium chloride and 0.2% potassium chloride added to the drinking water for 4 weeks. Body weight, systolic blood pressure and fractional excretion of sodium were measured weekly during the induction of hypertension.
Results: The treated rats exhibited a mild elevation of blood pressure at 1 week and a profound increase at 2, 3 and 4 weeks. The same pattern of increase was observed in these 4 weeks for fractional excretion of sodium. Although body weight remained almost unchanged at 1 week and it mildly decreased at other weeks.
Conclusion: This study indicates a robust increase in the systolic blood pressure and fractional excretion of sodium in DOCA-salt treated rats without increasing in body weight. Thus it concluded that body weight may not contribute to onset and progression of the elevation of blood pressure in DOCA-salt hypertension model.

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : No, there is no special points for any follow up actions with the members of the congress.

In addition a very good discipline was kept in the speeches and poster presentations which were held in well-equipped spaces.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The most important thing was visa processing from the Canada embassy because that was impossible if we didn't complete the congress registration and we couldn't register because we don't have credit card!

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : 1- There was relatively good discipline in performing of the congress.
2- All programs were done according to the conference schedule.
3- My lecture was interesting for audiences and they asked me about the experimental research during break.
4- The participants presented their work in the best way possible whether poster or oral presentation and I found the opportunity to get new approaches for my research.
5- That was good experience. Everything had been organised very well. I was treated with respect as a scientific board member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
