Abstract excerpt
To determine the effects of chronic nitric oxide (NO) blockade on the pulmonary vasculature, 58-day-old spontaneously hypertensive rats of the stroke-prone substrain (SHRSP) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) received N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA; 15 mg. kg(-1). day(-1) orally for 8 days).
