Abstract excerpt
-We investigated flow (shear stress)- and agonist-induced cGMP release in mesenteric vascular beds of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). The mesenteric vascular bed was perfused in situ with Tyrode's solution. Vascular relaxation and cGMP release in the perfusate were determined on stimulation by flow or by acetylcholine (0.1 micromol/L) or sodium nitroprusside (0.1...
