Experimental hypertension in dogs significantly increased the elastic stiffness of the femoral artery from 1,813 g/cm2 to 3,650 g/cm2 (p<0.005) and increased arterial water content.
Does experimental hypertension alter the mechanical and chemical properties of femoral arteries in dogs?
Experimental hypertension in dogs significantly increases the elastic stiffness and water content of femoral arteries in vivo, independent of elastic nonlinearity.

Feigl et al. (Tue,) conducted a other in Experimental hypertension (n=20). Experimental hypertension (kidney wrapping with cellophane) vs. Normotensive state (each dog served as its own control) was evaluated on Elastic stiffness (Ep) of the femoral artery (g/cm2) (p=<0.005). Experimental hypertension in dogs significantly increased the elastic stiffness of the femoral artery from 1,813 g/cm2 to 3,650 g/cm2 (p<0.005) and increased arterial water content.
