Journal ArticleDOI
Increased erythrocyte permeability to Li and Na in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
TL;DR: The rate of Li uptake is modestly but significantly increased in the spontaneously hypertensie rat (SHR) at 37°C and at 22°C, and the slow rate of Na gain and K loss during cooling at 2°C was about doubled in unmodified whole blood samples from the SHR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological assessment of vasoconstriction and vascular hypertrophy in sustained hypertension in the rat
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vascular hypertrophy is not a necessary condition of the sustained hypertensive state and in sustained post-DOCA (metacorticoid) hypertension, no cellhypertrophy was observed but cells were shortened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glass electrode measurement of net Na+ and K+ fluxes in erythrocytes of the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
TL;DR: The exchange of Na+ and K+ in rat red cells at 40% hematocrit incubated in a physiological salt solution containing 1 MM ouabain was monitored with ion-specific glass electrodes to measure change in the activity of an ion as a logarithmic function of its preexisting level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Na and K in the rat tail artery during the development of hypertension induced by desoxycorticosterone acetate.
TL;DR: An increase in total Na, due in large part to an increase in cell Na, was measured in the freshly excised rat tail artery during the course of DOCA-saline treatment, and it is suggested that this leads to hypertrophy rather than to vasoconstriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for enhanced Na transport in hypertension induced by DOCA in the rat
TL;DR: Evidence of enhanced net active transport activity in the incubated artery (zero intraluminal pressure) in steady state is yielded and Na-K exchange was expressed in terms of steady-state values in normal and ouabain-blocked arteries.
