We are currently in the process of completing experiments on the role hypertension( comapring pre-hypertensive SHR vs hypertensive SHR).  In these studies we examined 5 (normotensive), 10(hypertensive) and 15(hypertensive) wk old SHR and comapred them to WKY rats.  We are also currently finishing some experiments using a different model of hypertension the Dahl salt sensitive form of hypertension.  In addition, we are experiments using SHR and anti-hypertensive therapy are soon to be underway.
