Blood pressure and heart rate development in young spontaneously hypertensive rats
Abstract
The course of hypertension development in young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was studied by the measurement of changes in Systolic blood pressure (BP), body weight, and heart rate (HR) at 2, 3, 4, and 6 wk of age. To achieve this, we compared inbreeding lines of SHR and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) to determine if differences in BP, body weight, or HR were present among inbreeding lines of the same strain or between strains. The effect of …
