Evaluation of postural orthostatic hypotension in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive telemetered rats
| Effects of prazosin on basal arterial blood pressure |
Prazosin reduced basal arterial blood pressure in both SH and normotensive rats (max 120 min post-dosing).
| Effects of prazosin on postural change-induced hypotension |
Postural change-induced a sudden and reproducible hypotension in both anesthetized SH (-45/50 mmHg) and normotensive telemetered rats (-20/25 mmHg).
Both anesthetized SH and normotensive telemetered rats can be valuable models for studying the postural orthostatic hypotension induced by new chemical entities.
