Objectives
To ascertain the ability of the spontaneously hypertensive rat to compensate for hypercarbia or fluid overload, and to determine whether treatment with anti-hypertensive medication improves or degrades that compensation. This animal is widely regarded as a relevant model for the investigation of responses to pathophysiological challenges which cannot be ethically studied in humans.
