Smooth Muscle Cell Herniation in the Contracted Arterial Wall of Spontaneously Hypertensive and Normotensive Rats
Abstract
Structural changes of blood vessels from hypertensive animals during contraction were studied using light and transmission microscopy. In the arteries, maximally contracted with norepinephrine, vacuoles were found in the media of three categories of mesenteric arteries from two age groups (10-12, 28-30 weeks) of spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. These vacuoles were related to contraction of …
