Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure and vascular reactivity changes in spontaneously hypertensive rats fed fish oil.
K. Yin,Z.M. Chu,Lawrie J. Beilin +2 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that fish oil feeding may reduce blood pressure by decreasing vascular smooth muscle reactivity to noradrenaline in resistance vessels by inhibition of an endothelium‐derived cyclo‐oxygenase product, such as TxA2 or PGH2 in conduit vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of mechanisms of glucocorticoid hypertension in rats: endothelial related changes and their amelioration by dietary fish oils.
K. Yin,Z.M. Chu,Lawrie J. Beilin +2 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the glucocorticoid‐induced rise in systolic blood pressure may be due in part to decreased aortic compliance as a consequence of impaired endothelium‐dependent relaxation and perhaps reduced nitric oxide synthesis.
