The Development of Hypertension in Rats with Intraventricular Grafts of Fetal SHR or WKY Hypothalamus
To evaluate the role of the hypothalamus in hypertension, we compared the. development of blood pressure (BP) in normotensive host rats grafted at weaning with fetal hypothalamus from genetically hypertensive or normotensive donors. The anteroventral region of the third ventricle (AV3V) has been implicated in the control of BP, such that lesions of AV3V prevent or attenuate hypertension in a nu...
متن کاملAging and prostacyclin responses in aorta and platelets from WKY and SHR rats.
In spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) aorta, prostacyclin is an endothelium-derived contracting factor contributing to the endothelial dysfunction. This study was designed to determine whether the impairment of the prostacyclin response is influenced by aging and whether such a dysfunction is observed in platelets. Isometric tension was measured in aortic rings, and aggregation was studied in...
متن کاملA missense mutation in the Abcg5 gene causes phytosterolemia in SHR, stroke-prone SHR, and WKY rats.
Sitosterolemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ABCG5 or ABCG8 half-transporter genes. These mutations disrupt the mechanism that distinguishes between absorbed sterols and is most prominently characterized by hyperabsorption and impaired biliary elimination of dietary plant sterols. Sitosterolemia patients retain 15-20% of dietary plant sterols, whereas normal indi...
متن کاملBehavioral variability in SHR and WKY rats as a function of rearing environment and reinforcement contingency.
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) may model aspects of human attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For example, just as responses by children with ADHD tend to be variable, so too SHRs often respond more variably than do Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) control rats. The present study asked whether behavioral variability in the SHR strain is influenced by rearing environment, a question rel...
متن کاملAge-Related Alterations in Endothelial Function of Femoral Artery in Young SHR and WKY Rats
The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of vascular aging in juvenescence on endothelial function in femoral arteries and to assess differences between normotensive and hypertensive rats. The aim of the study was to determine if age affected nitric oxide- (NO-) mediated relaxations in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Juvenile (7-week-old) and young adult (22-week-old) male Wis...
