Abstract
Summary
The glutamic-oxalacetic trans-aminase (GOT) activity and blood pressure were determined in normal animals and in animals with elevated blood pressure. Blood pressure was elevated by use of bands of teflon tubing placed around the abdominal aorta. This procedure resulted in an increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures within a period of 5 to 6 weeks. GOT was elevated above control levels in the left ventricle, but was unchanged in the right ventricle.
