Abstract

<h4>Objectives</h4>The endothelium modulates vascular contractions. We investigated the effects of oxidative stress on endothelial modulation of contractions in hypertension.<h4>Methods</h4>Changes in isometric tension of femoral arterial rings from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto ...
