The present in vivo study was focused on better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to high blood pressure maintenance in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Genetic hypertension is characterised by abnormally elevated activity of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and increased sensitivity to catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction comprising both enhanced calcium influx to vascular smooth muscle cells via L-type of voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-VDCC) and altered vascular sensitivity to intracellular calcium mediated by RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway. Thus, our aims were to study the regulation of L-VDCC channels, to determine the role of "calcium sensitization" in hypertension and finally to evaluate which of ...
