Species variability in cardiovascular research: the example of adrenocorticotrophin-induced hypertension
Abstract
1. Lawrie Beilin has contributed greatly to international hypertension research through both animal and human studies. 2. Animals are used in biomedical research to gain insights that can be extrapolated ultimately to humans. 3. A simple experimental manipulation, adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) administration, has a range of different cardiovascular effects in different species. 4. Caution should be exercised in extrapolating data from animals to humans.

ACTH-induced hypertension depends on intact adrenal gland function since adrenal insufficiency or adrenalectomy prevents increased blood pressure in subjects with high levels of ACTH.
“ACTH-induced hypertension depends on intact adrenal gland function since adrenal insufficiency or adrenalectomy prevents increased BP in subjects with high levels of ACTH [13].”

“In subsequent studies in Glasgow, a similar pattern was seen with both ACTH and cortisol, but the increase in cardiac output was only significant for the latter.(10) The rise in blood pressure in normal subjects with ACTH is accompanied by increased renal vascular resistance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
