Rebound metabolic alkalosis is a transient alkalemia that is seen during recovery from NH4Cl-induced metabolic acidosis. The persistent elevation of plasma bicarbonate concentration is the result of continuing excretion of net acid by the kidney. Bicarbonate transport by inner medullary

Angiotensin II (ANG II) contributes to hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and dysfunction; however, it is difficult to separate the cardiac effect of ANG II from its hemodynamic action in vivo. To overcome the limitations, we used transgenic mice with cardiac-specific

The present study investigated the hypotensive responses to intravenous (i.v.) treatment with the essential oil of Alpinia zerumbet (EOAZ) and its main constituent, terpinen-4-ol (Trp-4-ol), in the experimental model of deoxycorticosterone-acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rat. In both DOCA-salt hypertensive and uninephrectomized

One challenge in understanding the polygenic disease of hypertension is elucidating the genes involved and defining responses to environmental factors. Many studies focus on animal models of hypertension; however, this does not necessarily extrapolate to humans. Current technology and cost

The aim of the present study was to compare glomerular permeability alterations associated with experimental hypertension models known to have different effects on the circulating renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Five groups, 10 animals each, were studied. One group served as a
