摘要
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the mesenteric arteries of cyclosporine-induced hypertensive rats. The concentration of plasma ET-1 and of mesenteric artery ET-1 messenger RNA was measured in cyclosporine-induced hypertensive and control rats. The concentration of ET-1 messenger RNA in the mesenteric arteries of cyclosporine-treated rats (25 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks) was significantly greater than in control rats (P < .05). We propose that cyclosporine-induced hypertension may be due to an increased synthesis of ET-1 in the resistant vessels.
