AI Article Synopsis
- The study found that rats lacking calcium had significantly higher arterial pressure (150 mm Hg) compared to normal rats (116 mm Hg).
- Rats with calcium deficiency displayed a unique hypertensive factor in their blood that is not linked to traditional pressor agents.
- This hypertensive activity in calcium-deficient rats resembles a factor previously associated with essential hypertension in some human patients.
Article Abstract
The arterial pressure was significantly higher in the calcium-deficient group of rats as compared with the normal rats: 150 +/- 7 and 116 +/- 2 mm Hg, resp. The first group of animals had a hypertensive factor in the blood. The hypertensive activity of the calcium-deficient animals was associated with no known pressor agents and was rather similar to Pang's hypertensive factor. The latter was also found in some patients with essential hypertension.
