Abstract excerpt
Chronic nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibition results in renal injury. Hypertension is an important risk factor for renal injury. We studied the influence of preexistent hypertension on the sensitivity for renal injury induced by chronic NOS inhibition in rats. Spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were treated with 3, 10, 30 and 100 mg/l Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA)...
