In 42 spontaneously hypertensive rats of the Münster strain either parabiosis or cross circulation with normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats was performed. Cross circulation was made through the common carotid arteries and external jugular veins using a peristaltic pump. In parabiosis and in cross circulation experiments hypertension was transmitted from the spontaneously hypertensive rats to normotensive rats. Nephrectomy or adrenalectomy in the spontaneously hypertensive rat before cross circulation abolished this effect. After volume depletion in the hypertensive animals hypertension was not transmitted either. It is concluded that humoral factors causing vasoconstriction play an essential role in the development of hypertension in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.

Background: Metabolic cardiomyopathy is characterized by structural and functional changes to the heart and interstitial fibrosis without coronary artery disease or hypertension. Inborn metabolic defects are a common cause of cardiomyopathy in children. There are more than 40 kinds of inborn metabolic defects that cause cardiomyopathy.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is traditionally associated with hepatic parenchymal diseases, such as acute liver failure and cirrhosis. Its prevalence in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) patients, extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is less well described. HE in NCPH allows one to study the effect of portosystemic shunting and ammonia without significant hepatic parenchymal injury.

Hypertension (HT) is the most attributable and modifiable risk factor for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). However, epidemiological data on blood pressure (BP) control before SICH and its relationship to patient lifestyles are lacking. This study prospectively enrolled patients with acute SICH from six stroke centers in Tochigi, Japan.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of Granules (QDG) for alleviating brain damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).
Methods: Twelve 5-week-old SHRs were randomized into SHR control group and SHR+QDG group treated with QDG by gavage at the daily dose of 0.9 g/kg for 12 weeks.
Background: Prostaglandin E (PGE) in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) has been recognized as a pivotal pressor substance in hypertension, yet understanding of its effects and origins in the RVLM remains largely elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the pivotal enzymes and molecular mechanisms underlying PGE synthesis induced by central Ang II (angiotensin II) and its implications in the heightened oxidative stress and sympathetic outflow in hypertension.
Methods And Results: RVLM microinjections of PGE and Tempol were administered in Wistar-Kyoto rats.
