We studied the developmental alteration of GABA release in spontaneous ly hypertensive(SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat(WKY) brain. The release of [3H]GABA observed under high potassium(30 mM) in eleven-week-old(hypertensive) SHR hippocampus and the spontaneous release of [3H]GABA in the same aged SHR medulla oblongata were lower than those of age-matched WKY. We conclude that the GABAergic mechanisms may be different in SHR and WKY brain and may be associated with the development of hypertension.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
