Supports ACEI vascular effects in hypertensive rat models; hypothesis-generating, requires human validation before practice implications.
Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors reduce blood pressure and regional vascular resistance in young spontaneously hypertensive rats?
ACE inhibitors like perindopril reduce blood pressure and regional vascular resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats, with long-term effects likely dependent on local angiotensin II.
Stephen Harrap (1991) studied this question.
