Hypothesis-generating for vascular remodeling sustaining hypertension after DOCA withdrawal in rats; does not inform clinical practice.
Does temporary administration of DOCA and saline alter vascular reactivity in rats compared to normotensive controls?
Structural changes in resistance vessels resulting from hypertension may explain the persistence of elevated blood pressure after the initial cause is removed.
Beilin et al. (1972) studied this question.
