Functional characterization of endothelin receptors in hypertensive resistance vessels.
Monica Montagnani,Maria Assunta Potenza,R. Rinaldi,G. Mansi,Carmela Nacci,M. Serio,V. Vulpis,Anna Pirrelli,Delia Mitolo-Chieppa +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that an imbalance in the endothelin-1 ability to induce both contraction and relaxation is present in SHR with sustained hypertension, manifesting as a greater contractile effect evoked in this strain.

Influence of gender and family history of hypertension on autonomic control of heart rate, diastolic function and brain natriuretic peptide.
Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Massimo Iacoviello,Francesco Massari,Pietro Guida,Roberta Romito,Cinzia Forleo,V. Vulpis,Paolo Rizzon +7 more
TL;DR: Male, but not female, hypertensive offspring have modified diastolic function and autonomic control of heart rate; BNP is the only parameter able to characterize hypertension offspring independently from the influence of gender.

Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in the Left Ventricular Tissue of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Abnormalities in both Adeninenucleotide and Phosphate Translocators and Enzyme Adenylate-Kinase and Creatine-Phosphokinase Activities
TL;DR: The abnormalities found in SHR at the mitochondrial level suggest a profound rearrangement of energy production mechanisms in this model of left ventricular hypertrophy; whether the defects are determined genetically, and then worsen with the hypertensive state, remains to be determined.

Extracellular matrix gene expression in the left ventricular tissue of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Teresa Maria Seccia,Ezio Bettini,V. Vulpis,Mauro Quartaroli,David G. Trist,Giovanni Gaviraghi,Anna Pirrelli +6 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest an altered balance between collagen deposition and collagen degradation with development in this model of left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertension.

Measures of total stress-induced blood pressure responses are associated with vascular damage.
Pietro Nazzaro,Teresa Maria Seccia,V. Vulpis,G. Schirosi,Gabriella Serio,L Battista,Anna Pirrelli +6 more
TL;DR: Total blood pressure stress response, as AUC, including baseline and recovery phases, was significantly better associated with hypertension and vascular damage than the other reactivity measures studied.
