High rate of ventricular septal defects in WKY rats.
In 1979, we first reported occurrence of biventricular hypertrophy in the original normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) strain obtained from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which was derived directly from the Kyoto laboratory of Okamoto. At that time, we recommended that both ventricles be weighted when WKY are studied so that invalid conclusions are not made. Because no paper confirm...
متن کاملChronic measurement of left ventricular pressure in freely moving rats.
Measurements of left ventricular pressure (LVP) in conscious freely moving animals are uncommon, yet could offer considerable opportunity for understanding cardiovascular disease progression and treatment. The aim of this study was to develop surgical methods and validate the measurements of a new high-fidelity, solid-state pressure-sensor telemetry device for chronically measuring LVP and dP/d...
متن کاملEffect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and left ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and systolic ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Four weeks after the surgically-induced MI, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups (n=10): MI-sedentary control (Sed) MI-exercise (Ex) MI-...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension: importance of blood pressure response to regularly recurring stress.
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a target organ response in essential hypertension, is only weakly related to clinical measurements of blood pressure. To determine whether blood pressure measured under basal or stress conditions more closely determines LVH, we compared echocardiographic left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness with clinical blood pressure and with 24 hr record...
متن کاملEcstasy produces left ventricular dysfunction and oxidative stress in rats.
AIMS Our aim was to determine whether the repeated, binge administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy; MDMA) produces structural and/or functional changes in the myocardium that are associated with oxidative stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiography and pressure-volume conductance catheters were used to assess left ventricular (LV) structure and function in rats subjected ...
