Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 653-673, 1 March 2026.Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...
