P4.16 EFFECT OF DENERVATION ON VISCOELASTIC PROPERTIES OF LARGE ARTERIES IN POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE RATS

Objectives: Arterial elasticity is determined by passive mechanical properties of wall components modulated by neurogenic effects on smooth muscle. We assessed denervation effects on viscoelastic properties of the aorta of Lewis Polycystic Kidney (LPK) disease rats, compared to controls (Lewis). Me...
