Population
Anesthetized normotensive dogs, rats, and conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats

May explain vasodilator tolerance differences in animals; hypothesis-generating for human hypertension trials.
Do calcium antagonist vasodilators improve renal sodium excretion and vasodilation compared to noncalcium antagonist vasodilators in animal models?
Calcium antagonist vasodilators induce natriuresis and renal vasodilation, unlike noncalcium antagonists which cause antinatriuresis and vasoconstriction, potentially explaining differences in tolerance development.
