Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) activator, reduces blood pressure (BP) in some hypertensive models by unclear mechanisms. We tested the hypothesis that DHA would prevent BP elevation and improve vascular dysfunction in angiotensin (Ang) II-infused rats by modulating of NADPH oxidase activity and inflammation in vascular wall. Sprague-Dawley rats received Ang II (120 ng/kg per minute SC) with or without DHA (2.5 mL of oil containing 40% DHA/d PO) for 7 days. Systolic BP (mm Hg), elevated in Ang II-infused rats (172+/-3) versus controls (108+/-2, P<0.01), was reduced by DHA (112+/-4). In mesenteric small arteries studied in a pressurized myograph, media/lumen ratio was increased (P<0.05) and acetylcholine-induced relaxation impaired in Ang II-infused rats (P<0.05); both were normalized by DHA. In blood vessels of Ang II-infused rats, NADPH oxidase activity measured by chemiluminescence and expression of adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were significantly increased. These changes were abrogated by DHA. PPARalpha activator DHA attenuated the development of hypertension, corrected structural abnormalities, and improved endothelial dysfunction induced by Ang II. These effects are associated with decreased oxidative stress and inflammation in the vascular wall.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
