Vascular Changes Associated with Deoxycorticosterone-NaCl-Induced Hypertension
Abstract
Rats were injected with deoxycorticosterone (DOC) and salt was added to the drinking water (DOC/NaCl) for 3 weeks. Approximately half of the animals became hypertensive (DOC-H), whereas the remainder showed no increase in blood pressure (DOC-N) compared to age-matched, untreated controls. Morphometric analysis of the alterations in the arteries of the mesenteric bed was carried out in vessels fixed at maximum relaxation. Alterations were …
