| Abstract | We have shown that in addition to compliance and distensibility, the analysis of the arterial distension (pulsatile diameter) via echotracking (ArtLab) provides information to discriminate the pressure-dependent and independent arterial stiffening. In the present study we evaluated these parameters in different hypertensive rat models. Mean, systolic, diastolic and pulse arterial pressure (AP) and the aortic diameter were recorded in 6 groups of pentobarbital anaesthetized rats: 20 week old spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), SHR treated with the NOS inhibitor L-NAME 6 mg/ kg/day in drinking water (SHRLN), 50–60 week old SHR, DOCA-salt (uninephrectomized, deoxycorticosterone treated rats) and VDN (VitamineD+-Nicotine treated rats); all were compared to their respective controls: Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Wistar normotensive rats. The diameter was comparable in all groups. Except in the DOCA-salt, increased stiffness index and decreased compliance, distensibility and distension were observed, indicating an aortic stiffening. When in each rat AP was decreased acutely by clonidine i.v., reaching the control rat values of AP, stiffness index, compliance and distensibility were more or less restored in SHR>old SHR = SHRLN>VDN; however the diameter distension wave (area under the curve adjusted to heart rate) was restored in SHR, partially in old SHR, but not in SHRLN and VDN (table). These data show, via the analysis of the aortic pulse diameter distension, that in SHRLN and VDN the increase in aortic stiffness is in part pressure-independent and due to arterial wall remodeling. The results are in line with previous structural vascular wall studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
