| pubmed-article:11014370 | pubmed:abstractText | Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase by L-arginine analogs is associated with elevation of blood pressure in rats. Because endothelium-dependent vasomotion in different vascular beds is not homogenous, the aim of this study was to characterize and compare regional hemodynamic responses in carotid, femoral, and renal vascular beds after chronic NO inhibition in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The possible role of circulating endothelin and renin angiotensin systems in mediating the effects of chronic NO inhibition was also studied. | lld:pubmed |
