The objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. Saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. Rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...
