May implicate sympathetic overactivity in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for human translation.
Cabassi et al. (2002) studied Arterial hypertension. Spontaneous hypertension (SHR model) vs. Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats was evaluated on Peripheral sympathetic activity expressed as interstitial norepinephrine (NE) release and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity in subcutaneous adipose tissues and skeletal muscles. Interstitial norepinephrine levels were greater in both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of spontaneously hypertensive rats at all ages compared with Wistar Kyoto rats.
