    Genetic hypertension in rats is accompanied by a defect in renal prostaglandin catabolism

    Noradrenaline releases prostaglandins in the kidney, and in rats these augment rather than reduce vasoconstriction produced by the amine. Homogenates of kidneys of New Zealand rats inbred for hypertension exhi...
