AbstractRecent evidence suggests that extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK 1/2) affect vascular tone. The present study examined the role of this enzyme in vascular control under physiological and pathological conditions. Using tissue bath technique, vascular responses were measured in terms of changes in isometric tension in aortic rings that were isolated from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and hypertensive spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at different ages, 36-39 week old (adult group) and 72-75 week ROG DJHGJURXS ,QKLELWLRQRI(5.

On the other hand, ERK 1/2 is activated in aged and hypertensive rats, leading to the suppression of nitric oxide-mediated relaxation. As such, ERK 1/2 appears to contribute to vascular dysfunction in aging and hypertension.-
