cardiovascular system
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit decreased blood pressure following treatment with angiotensin II, vasopressin and endothelin compared to in wild-type mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice exposed to DOCA-salt do not develop hypertension and DOCA-salt treated mice exposed to tamoxifen following the onset of hypertension exhibit a drop in blood pressure compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• following a normal transient increase in mean arterial blood pressure upon treatment with tamoxifen, mice exhibit a drop in mean arterial blood pressure below normal levels
• slight in the absence of tamoxifen induction
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice fail to exhibit vasocontractile effects induced by phenylephrine or angiotensin II as do wild-type mice
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit reduced vasocontraction in response to serotonine, vasopressin, U46619 and endothelin-1 compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
