Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with hypertension. Whether N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) contributes to the development of hypertension in young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) remains to be established compared to WKY. We determined blood pressure, renal function, marker for oxidative stress (OS), and CML in young WKY rats and SHR. We found blood pressure was increased in SHR with no difference in renal function and OS compared to WKY. CML was elevated in plasma (2.3 +/- 0.3 vs. 1.3 +/- 0.2 micromol/L) and kidney (1.0 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.5 +/- 0.1 micromol/L) compared to WKY. Early CML accumulation may contribute to the development of hypertension potentially by inducing early renal inflammation independent of glomerular dysfunction or oxidative stress.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.
