| Title |
Gene expression in a resistance artery in 2 models of hypertension in the rat |
| Organism |
Rattus norvegicus |
| Experiment type |
Expression profiling by array
|
| Summary |
We investigated morphometric structure and gene expression by microarray analysis in a small diameter artery, branch of the saphenous artery (a resistance artery), in representative models of renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-dependent and glucocorticoid hypertension, using the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-induced hypertensive rat, respectively.
Sixteen-week-old male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were used.
Keywords: Comparison of global gene expression in resistance arteries of normotensive and genetically hypertensive rats and ACTH-treated rats.

| Overall design |
There were 3 experimental groups: Group 1: 16-week male Wistar-Kyoto rats; Group 2: 16-week male Wistar-Kyoto rats treated with ACTH (0.1mg/kg/day) subcutaneously, for 4 weeks prior to sampling (i.e. during weeks 12-16 of life) ; Group3: 16-week male SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats. There were 3 replicate hybridizations in each experimental group. Due to the low yield of total RNA obtained from the arterial sections, each replicate was composed of RNA pooled from 2-3 different rats.
