Chronic lead exposure decreases the vascular reactivity of rat aortas: the role of hydrogen peroxide.
We investigated whether exposure to small concentrations of lead alters blood pressure and vascular reactivity. Male Wistar rats were sorted randomly into the following two groups: control (Ct) and treatment with 100 ppm of lead (Pb), which was added to drinking water, for 30 days. Systolic blood pr...
