Neuropeptide Y-2 receptors are involved in enhanced neurogenic vasoconstriction in spontaneously hypertensive rats
1 The present study addressed the role of neuropeptide (NPY) Y-2 receptors in neurogenic contraction of mesenteric resistance arteries from female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Arteries were suspended in microvascular myographs, electrical field stimulation (EFS) was performed, and protein evaluated by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. 2 In vasopressin-activated endothelium-intac
