Arterial Vasodilation and Vascular Connective Tissue Changes in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Abstract
Arterial hypertrophy in response to hypertension includes increases in the connective tissue proteins elastin and collagen. Regression of arterial hypertrophy depends not only on blood pressure normalization but also on the specific antihypertensive treatment. Consequently, each drug class may exert an influence on connective tissue proteins. We evaluated the arterial connective tissue response of 16-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats …
