Morphological evaluation of aortic vessel in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) Models

The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) has been well established as a suitable model for hypertension research, but little is known about the morphology of hypertensive vascular remodeling in this model. The present study was designed to investigate the structural changes of blood vessels in 6 m...
