Abstract excerpt
The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a strain with high incidence of cerebrovascular accidents increased by salt-rich diet and decreased by calcium-antagonist treatment. In the SHRSP rat basilar artery the authors have previously shown reduced contractility and altered structure including regions of smooth muscle cell (SMC) disorganization. The aims of this study have been to analyze (1) the...
