Research Abstract |
To clarify the pathophysiology of pregnancy related cerebrovascular disease, we conducted this preliminary in vivo study. There was no difference BBB permeability during acute hypertension compared with late pregnant rats and non-pregnant rats. The required dose of presser agents to elevate blood pressure that the brain autoregulation mechanism breakthrough probably occurred was significantly great late pregnant rats than non pregnant rats. The areas of brain edema formation in both groups were mainly occipital lobes, but more widely spread in non-pregnant rats. Those differences might be affected by pregnancy related automatic nerve function and vascular endothelial functions.
