The aim of this study was to assess the effect of oral magnesium supplementation (Mg-supp) on blood pressure (BP) and possible mechanism in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition-induced hypertension model. Hypertension and/or Mg-supp were created by N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (25 mg/kg/day by drinking water) and magnesium-oxide (0.8% by diet) for 6 weeks. Systolic BP was measured weekly by tail-cuff method. The effects of hypertension and/or Mg-supp in thoracic aorta and third branch of mesenteric artery constriction and relaxation responses were evaluated...
