Why the study?
Does high calcium intake reduce vascular responsivity in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
Does high calcium intake reduce vascular responsivity in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
High calcium intake lowers blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats but does not reduce vascular reactivity to norepinephrine or angiotensin II, suggesting alternative mechanisms for its hypotensive effect.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High calcium intake may lower BP via non-vascular mechanisms in SHR; hypothesis-generating, leaves open human translation and alternative pathways.
Stern et al. (1987) studied this question.
