A 1984 study of prazosin reported by Bauer revealed increases in plasma volume, interstitial fluid volume, and extracellular fluid volume following both short-term and long-term therapy [ 7 ] . In this study of 14 hypertensive men, there was a significant 1.4 L average increase in ECFV, with a 200 mL average increase in plasma volume (measured with radioisotopic assays) that occurred within 3-6 weeks of initiation, lasted during 5 to 6 months of chronic therapy, and was still present during a two-week washout period.
Apoptosis can be significant particularly three weeks into the course of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in this model (Figure 1).
In particular, peripheral alpha-1 antagonists are associated with an increase in plasma norepinephrine in diverse patient populations, as summarized in Table 3. This table reflects increases in norepinephrine in normotensive patients, hypertensive patients, and patients with chronic congestive heart failure from a variety of these small studies.
A number of different groups have reported that genetically hypertensive strains of rats (SHR, SHRSP, WKY) have elevated levels of plasma sitosterol [ 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 ] . Although the WKY strain is not considered hypertensive, dietary alterations involving plant sterols appear to increase blood pressure in this strain [ 21 ] . We screened two commercially available hypertensive rats, as well as a 'genetically hypertensive' strain, GH, for plasma plant sterol levels and compared these to two control strains, Sprague-Dawley and Wistar (Table 4).
A previous study suggested that the apoptotic process occurred early in the development of hypertension in this model [ 26 ] , so the data suggested that an apoptotic mechanism in addition to activation of the Fas/FasL pathway is also involved in development of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in S rats.
