Cytochrome P-450 Inhibition Attenuates Hypertension Induced by Reductions in Uterine Perfusion Pressure in Pregnant Rats

ABSTRACT—The present study tested the hypothesis that cytochrome P-450 (CYP) metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) are involved in mediating hypertension and renal vasoconstriction during chronic reductions in uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) in pregnant rats. 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), a CYP enzym...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT—The present study tested the hypothesis that cytochrome P-450 (CYP) metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) are involved in mediating hypertension and renal vasoconstriction during chronic reductions in uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) in pregnant rats. 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), a CYP enzyme inhibitor (25 mg/kg per day), or vehicle (saline 0.9%) was administered for 7 days to normal pregnant (NP) rats and to pregnant rats with chronic RUPP. RUPP rats infused with vehicle showed significantly (P
