Why the study?
Does elevated intravascular pressure in chronic hypertension alter responses of vascular smooth muscle to agents of endothelial origin in rats?

Coarctation hypertensive, sham normotensive control, and one-kidney, one clip hypertensive (1K1C) rats
Comparison
Histamine, endothelin-1, iloprost, and… vs Sham normotensive control rats

Chronic pressure exposure may impair endothelial relaxation in hypertensive rat models; leaves open translation to human vessels or therapies.
Does elevated intravascular pressure in chronic hypertension alter responses of vascular smooth muscle to agents of endothelial origin in rats?
Chronic exposure to elevated arterial pressure impairs endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation by histamine in hypertensive rat models.
