Abstract excerpt
1. We previously reported that activation function of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) is enhanced in aorta strips from both prehypertensive and hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and that this enhancement of MAPK activation results from enhanced MAPK activation reactivity to angiotensin (Ang) II in SHR aorta strips. 2. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the enhanced...
