Honda et al. (1993) studied Cardiac hypertrophy. Spontaneous hypertension vs. Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats was evaluated on Collagen concentration and proportions of types I, III, and V collagen (p=<0.01). In spontaneously hypertensive rats, cardiac hypertrophy development was associated with a prominent increase in the proportion of type V collagen compared to age-matched controls (p<0.01).
