Blood pressure in the unanesthetized rat. I.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods of indirectly determining blood pressure in the rat are reviewed and their drawbacks noted. A new method is described which has the advantage of objectivity and provides permanent graphic record of each determination. The end point used is the reappearance of pulsation in the foot distal to a slowly deflating leg cuff. Application of the method is described and its use compared with tail plethysmography.

A Simple Method for Determining the Systolic Blood Pressure of the Unanesthetized Rat.
Despite the importance of the determination of blood pressure in the experimental laboratory animals, most of the methods in common use are unsatisfactory. Many of the procedures are applicable only to the anesthetized animal and hence give results which deviate from those observed in the normal animal. Various indirect methods which do not demand the sacrifice of the animal have been described...
متن کاملChronology of blood pressure changes in renal hypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in the rat
The objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. Saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. Rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...

متن کاملSynthesis of Novel 4-[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl] Dihydropyridines and Studying their Effects on Rat Blood Pressure
Objective(s) Calcium-channel blockers have an important role in the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders. Derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine are one of the most potent calcium antagonists. In this study four novel ', 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were synthesized and their hypotensive properties were investigated in male rats. Materials and Methods Four 1, 4-dihydropyr...
متن کاملThe Zucker fatty rat as a genetic model of obesity and hypertension.
The association of hypertension with obesity has long been recognized; however, because of the lack of suitable animal models of obesity and hypertension, the pathogenesis of the high blood pressure associated with obesity remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that the Zucker fatty rat, a widely studied model of obesity and insulin resistance, might also be characterized by hypertension. M...
