Effect of reserpine on the calcium content of rat aorta at different stages of development.
The preadministration of reserpine (2.5 mg/kg b.w. per os) 24 hours before the experiment did not statistically significantly affect the calcium content of the aorta of 21- and 42-day-old rats. In 90-day-old and older rats it produced a statistically significant decrease in the calcium content of the thoracic segment of the aorta, however.
