In seven rabbits subjected to suprarenal aortic coarctation hypertension, the segments above and below the coarctation were tested for the antioxidant defences (i.e. acid-soluble thiol compounds, selenium-dependent and selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the induction of oxidative stress in heart and erythrocytes from rats with abdominal aorta coarctation (Coa) compared with sham-operated normotensive controls (Sham). The group of Coa animals developed myocardial hypertrophy, showing heart homogenates
Abdominal aortic coarctation above the renal arteries leads to severe hypertension above the stenotic site and provides a model for simultaneous testing of the effects of increased and decreased pressure and consequently shear stress in the same animal. The effects of increased pressure, per se, on
