Acute effects of bezafibrate on blood pressure and renal haemodynamics in SHR and WKY rats.
BACKGROUND Bezafibrate, a fibric acid analogue, has well-established lipid- and fibrinogen-lowering properties. Some data exist pointing towards a blood-pressure-lowering effect of bezafibrate. Thus the aim of this study was to examine the acute effect of bezafibrate on blood pressure and renal haemodynamics in hypertensive and normotensive rats. METHODS 8 Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and 12 spontaneou...
متن کاملA missense mutation in the Abcg5 gene causes phytosterolemia in SHR, stroke-prone SHR, and WKY rats.
Sitosterolemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ABCG5 or ABCG8 half-transporter genes. These mutations disrupt the mechanism that distinguishes between absorbed sterols and is most prominently characterized by hyperabsorption and impaired biliary elimination of dietary plant sterols. Sitosterolemia patients retain 15-20% of dietary plant sterols, whereas normal indi...
متن کاملHydralazine: effect on contraction mechanics of WKY and SHR rat heart muscle.
Chronic hydralazine treatment (2 weeks) in 22-week-old normotensive (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) significantly lowered the systolic blood pressure in both groups. Left ventricular papillary muscles from nontreated and treated WKY and SHR were placed in an isometric myography, and contractile indices monitored. Nontreated WKY and SHR were not statistically different comparing:...
متن کاملAging and prostacyclin responses in aorta and platelets from WKY and SHR rats.
In spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) aorta, prostacyclin is an endothelium-derived contracting factor contributing to the endothelial dysfunction. This study was designed to determine whether the impairment of the prostacyclin response is influenced by aging and whether such a dysfunction is observed in platelets. Isometric tension was measured in aortic rings, and aggregation was studied in...
متن کاملBehavioral variability in SHR and WKY rats as a function of rearing environment and reinforcement contingency.
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) may model aspects of human attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For example, just as responses by children with ADHD tend to be variable, so too SHRs often respond more variably than do Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) control rats. The present study asked whether behavioral variability in the SHR strain is influenced by rearing environment, a question rel...
