Comparative morphological study of the adenohypophysis was conducted in 3-week-old normotensive WAG and hypertensive ISIAH rats (prehypertension period) to elucidate the role of the adenohypophysis in the development of essential hypertension. Morphometric analysis revealed ultrastructural signs of functional activation of somatotrophs, gonadotrophs, and corticotrophs in ISIAH rats. These peculiarities of structural organization of adenohypophysis in hypertensive rats can attest to enhanced response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in these animals to natural stress associated with their transition to independent feeding. Increased stress sensitivity during the prehypertensive period of postnatal ontogeny contributes to the development of arterial hypertension.

Normotensive and hypertensive organisms respond differently to stress factors; however, the features of the central molecular genetic mechanisms underlying the reaction of the hypertensive organism to stress have not been fully established. In this study, we examined the transcriptome profiles of the hypothalamus of hypertensive ISIAH rats, modeling a stress-sensitive form of arterial hypertension, and normotensive WAG rats at rest and after exposure to a single short-term restraint stress. It was shown that oxidative phosphorylation is the most significantly enriched process among metabolic changes in the hypothalamus of rats of both strains when exposed to a single short-term restraint stress.

The diversity of pathogenetic mechanisms underlying arterial hypertension leads to the necessity to devise a personalized approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Metabolomics is one of the promising methods for personalized medicine, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the physiological processes occurring in the body. The metabolome is a set of low-molecular substances available for detection in a sample and representing intermediate and final products of cell metabolism.

Stress can play a significant role in arterial hypertension and many other complications of cardiovascular diseases. Considerable attention is paid to the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the body response to stressful influences, but there are still many blank spots in understanding the details. ISIAH rats model the stress-sensitive form of arterial hypertension.

Emotional stress is one of the health risk factors in the modern human lifestyle. Stress exposure can provoke the manifestation of various pathological conditions, one of which is a sharp increase in the blood pressure level. In the present study, we analyzed changes in the transcriptome profiles of the hypothalamus of hypertensive ISIAH and normotensive WAG rats exposed to a single short-term restraint stress (the rat was placed in a tight wire-mesh cage for 2 h).

The etiology of essential hypertension is intricate, since it employs simultaneously various body systems related to the regulation of blood pressure in one way or another: the sympathetic nervous system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal systems, renal and endothelial mechanisms. The pathogenesis of hypertension is influenced by a variety of both genetic and environmental factors, which determines the heterogeneity of the disease in human population. Hence, there is a need to perform research on experimental models - inbred animal strains, one of them being ISIAH rat strain, which is designed to simulate inherited stress-induced arterial hypertension as close as possible to primary (or essential) hypertension in humans.
