Abstract
The metabolic activity of the cremaster muscle, as measured by glucose oxidation, was lower (16.7%) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) than in the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY). This alteration in metabolic activity was accompanied by a reduction of the respiratory rate (12.5%) in the SHR rats when compared to WKY animals. The decreased respiratory rate and the lowered metabolic activity of the cremaster muscle occured at a time when blood pressure is increasing in SHR animals.
