Abstract

The spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rat (SHRSP) is a potential animal model of human lacunar stroke, but there is little information on SHRSP small vessel pathology, especially in young rats. We investigated the structural changes that occur in cortical and subcortical vessels and adjacent tissue in SHRSP before, during and after the onset of hypertension.
