Effect of blood pressure on prevalence of carotid atheroma.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The goal of this study was to determine whether release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) from carotid artery in response to acetylcholine is altered by aging. METHODS:Responses were examined in arteries from Wistar rats 6 to 8 months old (young rats), 24 to 26 months old (old rats),...
