Why the study?
Do vascular myocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibit different responses to agonists compared to those from normotensive rats?

Does not guide human hypertension therapy; leaves open genetic basis of myocyte hypersensitivity in SHR models.
Do vascular myocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats exhibit different responses to agonists compared to those from normotensive rats?
Vascular myocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats show persistent hypersensitivity to angiotensin and norepinephrine in culture, suggesting a genetic rather than adaptive origin for this trait.
Bodin et al. (1993) studied this question.
