Abstract
Heme oxygenase (HO) and carbon monoxide (CO) participate in the homeostatic control of cardiovascular functions, including the regulation of blood pressure (BP). Upregulation of the HO/CO system has been shown to lower BP in young (8 weeks) but not in adult (20 weeks) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The underlying mechanism for this selective effect, however, has been unknown and was investigated in the present study. The administration of hemin resulted in a marked decrease in BP (from 148.6+/-3.2 to 125.8+/-2.6 mm Hg, P<0.01) in young but not in prehypertensive (4 weeks) or adult SHR or Wistar-Kyoto rats at all ages. The inhibition of HO with chromium mesoporphyrin abrogated the BP-lowering effect of hemin. Significantly lower expression levels of HO-1 and soluble gyanylyl cyclase (sGC) as well as reduced cGMP content were detected in 8-week SHR but not in adult SHR or Wistar-Kyoto rats of all ages. These deficiencies were all corrected by hemin treatment. The expression of HO-2 protein was not different among all animal groups tested and not affected by hemin treatment. Desensitization of the sGC/cGMP pathway in adult SHR was demonstrated by the reduced vasorelaxant potency of the sGC activator 3-(5' -hydroxymethyl-2-'furyl)-1-benzylindazole. Thus, in young and prehypertensive SHR, a defective HO/CO-sGC/cGMP system might constitute a pathogenic mechanism for the development of hypertension. The HO/CO-sGC/cGMP system appears normal in adult SHR, but desensitization of the downstream targets of the system to sGC/cGMP may endow SHR at this stage a persistent hypertension status.

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
