"Adenosine-induced renovasodilation in Dahl rats is mediated via activation of adenosine(2A) receptors (A(2A)Rs) and stimulation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) synthesis. Unlike Dahl salt-resistant rats, salt-sensitive rats exhibit an inability to upregulate the A(2A)R-EET pathway with salt loading; therefore, we examined the effect of in vivo inhibition of the A(2A)R-EET pathway on blood pressure and the natriuretic response to salt-loading in Dahl salt-resistant rats," scientists writing in the journal Hypertension report.
"N-Methylsulfonyl-6-(2-propargyloxyphenyl)hexanamide (MS-PPOH; 20 mg/kg per day), an epoxygenase inhibitor, or ZM241385 (ZM; 5 mg/kg per...
