title: [Effect of chemical sympathectomy on the development of DOCA-salt hypertension in rats].
abstract: Structurally based resistance and vascular reactivity of the posterior body to noradrenaline were studied in normotensive rats and rats with DOCA-salt hypertension. The hypertension was induced in rats with intact sympathetic nervous system and in rats subjected to neonatal sympathectomy with guanethidine. During the prehypertensive stage, vascular sensitivity of the smooth muscles to noradrenaline was enhanced, with structural lesions being observed only in steady hypertension. Elevation of arterial pressure was accompanied by an increased vascular response to the stimulation of the sympathetic nerves. Sympathectomy prevented arterial pressure elevation and structural alterations in the vessels.
