Abstract
1 Hypertensive and normotensive rats of the same age group were isolated from an inbred colony of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 2 The perfused hindquarter and mesenteric artery preparations obtained from hypertensive and normotensive rats exhibited an increased reactivity to noradrenaline (NA) and angiotensin II. 3 Dose-response curves to NA obtained from hypertensive and normotensive rats exhibited a steeper slope and higher maximum than those from control rats. 4 These findings suggest that increased vascular reactivity of blood vessels is independent of the development or maintenance of elevated blood pressure.Entities:
