... of TLR4 decreases BP (blood pressure) and improves vascular contractility in resistance arteries from SHR (spontaneously hypertensive rats). TLR4 protein expression in mesenteric resistance arteries was higher in 15-week-old SHR than in age-matched Wistar controls or in 5-week-old SHR. To decrease...

... determined with fluorescent indicators using confocal microscopy and lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence. Basal O 2 − was also assessed in mesenteric resistance arteries. Middle cerebral arteries from adult rats, but not young pre-hypertensive rats, had augmented myogenic responses and resting tone...
