Biologists from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have found possible reasons for the development of hypertension (persistent increase in blood pressure). A related study was published in the journal Experimental Physiology.

Scientists see one of the possible reasons for the development of hypertension in a change in nervous activity and blood flow in the brain that occurs at an early age, according to Pannochka, an Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Experts came to such conclusions by comparing two groups of rats. The first had normal blood pressure, the second was abnormal, which developed in the period from four to six weeks from birth and is characteristic of them in the future.

In rodents in the second group, compared with the first, scientists observed shifts in blood flow in certain arteries, as well as changes in brain activity, in particular, a decrease in the prefrontal cortex and an increase in the hypothalamus.

In 90-95% of people, high blood pressure has no overtly observable cause. Meanwhile, hypertension is one of the risk factors for diseases of the brain, kidneys, heart, eyes and other organs..

Research by Russian scientists can help prevent these diseases.
