Effects of chronic blockade of angiotensin II receptor on the maintenance of hypertension and vascular changes in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that chronic treatment of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors is effective in causing the regression of hypertension and vascular structural changes in adult SHR. The purpose of this study was to determine the involvement of angiotensin type 1 receptors in the maintenance of hypertension and vascular changes in adult SHR. Three groups of 15-week-old male SHR were …
