The basis for these relationships is perhaps best illustrated by a comparison of human hypertension with the principal varieties of the experimental disease.Although the blood pressure can be increased in animals by a great number of methods, consistent and sustained elevations have been associated with three major types of experimental hypertension: (a) neurogenic; (b) renal and (c) desoxycorticosterone acetate (DCA)-induced.NEUROGENIC HYPERTENSIONNeurogenic hypertension...Bibliography1.
