The purpose of this study was to determine the microvascular characteristics that cause
cerebral cortical blood flow autoregulation to shift to a higher range of arterial pressures …

The internal carotid artery of spontaneously hypertensive rats and stroke-prone
spontaneously hypertensive rats has a thicker media than that of normotensive Wistar Kyoto …

Cerebral blood vessels undergo profound alterations in function and structure during
chronic hypertension. The pressure-flow relationship in cerebral circulation is altered in …

The purpose of this study was to examine effects of hypertension on mechanics of cerebral
arterioles in nongenetic and genetic models of chronic hypertension. Pressure (servo null) …

Intrinsic rhythmic changes in the diameter of pial cerebral arterioles (30–70 μm) in
anesthetized normotensive and hypertensive rats were assessed in vivo to determine if any …

The purpose of this study was to examine hemodynamic mechanisms which protect cerebral
vessels against chronic hypertension, and contribute to protective effects of sympathetic …

The goal of this study was to determine whether endothelium-dependent responses are
impaired in the cerebral microcirculation of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats …

Chronic hypertension impairs dilatation of cerebral arterioles. Impairment of dilatation
generally has been attributed to hypertrophy of the vessel wall with encroachment on the …

Chronic hypertension is associated with hypertrophy of cerebral blood vessels. Previous
studies of the mechanical properties of cerebral vessels in chronic hypertension have …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation was studied in renal hypertensive rats receiving
chronic antihypertensive treatment. Young Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were made hypertensive …
