Role of the sympathetic nervous system during the development of obesity-induced hypertension in rabbits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have previously reported that weight gain induced by high-fat diet (HFD) leads to an increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP, +14%) and heart rate (HR, +31%) in the adult rabbit. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that an increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system may contribute to the development of obesity-induced hypertension. A combination of alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockers (terazosin + propranolol) was chronically administered to rabbits housed in metabolic cages for continuous monitoring of arterial pressure by telemetry, 24 h a day. After 2 weeks of adrenergic blockade under control diet, animals were switched to HFD for the next 6 weeks. HFD induced a progressive increase in body weight, but no increase in mean arterial pressure (+0.2+/-2.5%) and a slight increase in heart rate (+14+/-3%). Time-control animals fed normal diet showed no changes in MAP or HR with long-term alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockade. Our results indicate that the activation of the sympathetic nervous system may play an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced hypertension.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
