Abstract
Summary
In comparing renal tissue metabolism between a normotensive and genetically hypertensive strain of Wistarrats, we noted a relative increase in PAH transport and oxygen consumption in kidney slices from the hypertensive rats. No statistically significant difference in TEA transport was observed. The changes in tissue function are present early in the development of hypertension and constitute a physiologic difference in renal function between a normotensive and hypertensive strain of Wistar rats.
