Metformin attenuates salt-induced hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Metformin, an antihyperglycemic agent used for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, lowers blood pressure in humans and experimental animals. We recently demonstrated that short-term administration of metformin may lower blood pressure by reducing sympathetic neural outflow. The present studies were initiated to determine whether long-term administration of metformin blunts salt-induced hyper...
متن کاملSalt-induced hypertension in normotensive spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Lifetime treatment with oral captopril prevents the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We tested the hypothesis that this treatment also prevents the hypertensive response that occurs when untreated NaCl-sensitive SHR are placed on a high NaCl diet. Female SHR were continuously treated with oral captopril before conception and throughout lactation, and the off...
متن کاملBrain catecholamines in spontaneously hypertensive and DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.
The concentrations and alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (alpha-MPT) induced disappearance of catecholamines, adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine, were measured in selected areas of the brainstem and hypothalamus of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. The catecholamine levels were measured by a sensitive radioenzymatic assay method combi...
متن کاملRefeeding hypertension in obese spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Very-low-calorie diets lower blood pressure acutely in obese humans and rats. However, refeeding after dietary restriction produces mild hypertension in rats. Refeeding hypertension was characterized in genetically obese spontaneously hypertensive rats (obese SHR, Koletsky rat), a model of genetic obesity and hypertension. Obese SHR were fed a restricted diet (Optifast) for 12 days, refed ad li...
متن کاملHypertension induced by brain grafts from fetal spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Hypothalami from fetal rats were grafted into the third ventricle of four strains of adult rats. Grafts from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), in contrast to grafts from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, induced an elevation of systolic blood pressure and a thickening of the media of resistance arteries, along with corresponding alterations in the contractile properties of these vessels. However, n...
