Urinary excretion of kallikrein (UKal), sodium, potassium, protein, and creatinine, as well as the kidney content of kallikrein and renin, was studied in spontaneously hypertensive FH/Wjd (FH) male and female rats and in age- and sex-matched normal Wistar rats. With the exception of 1-month-old rats
BACKGROUND
In fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH) rats, a model of hypertension, impaired preglomerular resistance, hyperfiltration, and progressive renal injury, we recently observed that supporting perinatal nitric oxide (NO) availability with the NO donor molsidomine persistently reduced blood
Previous studies suggest that middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) of Fawn Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rats exhibit impaired myogenic response and introgression of a small region of Brown Norway chromosome 1 containing 15 genes restored the response in FHH.1BN congenic rat. The impaired myogenic response
Recent studies have indicated that the myogenic response (MR) in cerebral arteries is impaired in Fawn Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rats and that transfer of a 2.4 megabase pair region of chromosome 1 (RNO1) containing 15 genes from the Brown Norway rat into the FHH genetic background restores MR in a
Differences in mineral nutrient composition of soils have been considered to affect health and population characteristics of free-ranging animals, particularly herbivores. Contents of Ca, Mg, and K in hair of female fawn white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were measured for eight consecutive
Although most annular lesions will be typical of a dermatophytosis, physicians must consider other possible diagnoses. Tinea corporis can often be diagnosed on the basis of a positive potassium hydroxide examination. Topical and systemic antifungals are usually curative. Pityriasis rosea is
The ferric iron-desferrioxamine B chelate effectively induced histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. The release was maximum at exogenous ferric iron concentrations of 10-100 microM, and the chelate was non-toxic, as determined by trypan blue uptake. In many aspects the chelate-induced
The signal transduction mechanisms defining the role of cyclic nucleotides in the regulation of potassium channel activity in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle are currently an area of great interest. Normally, signaling mechanisms that elevate cyclic AMP (cAMP) open potassium channels. Modulation of
Signaling mechanisms that elevate cyclic AMP (cAMP) activate large-conductance, calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (BKCa) channels in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle and cause pulmonary vasodilatation. BKCa channel modulation is important in the regulation of pulmonary arterial pressure, and
We have reported that the myogenic response of the renal afferent arteriole (Af-art) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) and autoregulation of renal and cerebral blood flow are impaired in Fawn-Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) rats. Transfer of a region of chromosome 1 containing γ-adducin (Add3) from the
The signal transduction mechanisms defining the role of cyclic nucleotides in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone is currently an area of great interest. Normally, signaling mechanisms that elevate cAMP and guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) maintain the pulmonary vasculature in a
Ventilatory sensitivity to hypercapnia is greater in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats than in Fawn Hooded hypertensive (FHH) and Brown Norway (BN) inbred rats. Since pH-sensitive potassium ion (K(+)) channels are postulated to contribute to the sensing and signaling of changes in CO(2)-H(+) in
