Abstract

The borderline hypertensive rat (BHR) develops severe hypertension when chronically subjected to either a high salt diet or behavioral stress. Previous research has shown that daily exercise can attenuate the development of stress-induced hypertension in the BHR. The current study sought to determine whether exercise might also exert a similar protective effect on salt-induced hypertension. Two groups of BHR were placed on a high salt diet
