Implicates vascular protein synthesis in sustaining chronic renovascular hypertension independent of RAS; leaves open therapeutic translation from this rat model.
Does splanchnicotomy, beta-aminopropionitrile, or captopril reduce vascular protein synthesis and blood pressure in acute versus chronic phases of 2K-1C hypertensive rats?
Increased noncollagenous protein and collagen synthesis in small arteries contributes to the chronic phase of 2K-1C renovascular hypertension, independent of the renin-angiotensin system.
