title: Enzymatic histo and cytochemical investigation on the cardiovascular system in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
abstract: The functional abnormalities of the cells in the cardiovascular system in SHR were revealed by enzyme histo-cytochemical study. The enzymatic activity was usually increased in the area where the arteries branched and in proliferating cells in the thickened wall. Such was more remarkable in the distorted arteries with aging. Functional roles of these 4 enzymes were discussed.
