We determined the effects of resveratrol, a non-flavonoid polyphenol found in foods such as red grapes, and structurally-similar analogues (pterostilbene and gnetol) on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and resistance arteries from the spontaneously hypertensive heart failure (SHHF) rat. SBP was elevated in 17-week-old SHHF vs. Sprague-Dawley rats (normotensive control; 194 \u00b1 3 vs. 142 \u00b1 6 mmHg, p &lt; 0.01) and was unaffected by resveratrol, pterostilbene, or gnetol (2.5 mg\/kg\/d). Geometry and mechanical properties of pressurized mesenteric resistance arteries and middle cerebral arteries were calculated from media and lumen dimensions measured at incremental intraluminal pressures. SHHF arteries exhibited remodeling which consisted of augmented media-to-lumen ratios, and this was attenuated by stilbenoid treatment. Compliance was significantly reduced in SHHF middle cerebral arteries but not mesenteric arteries vis-\u00e0-vis increased wall component stiffness; stilbenoid treatment failed to normalize compliance and wall component stiffness. Our data suggest that neither AMPK nor ERK mediate stilbenoid effects. In conclusion, we observed arterial bed-specific abnormalities, where mesenteric resistance arteries exhibited remodeling and cerebral arteries exhibited remodeling and stiffening. Resveratrol, pterostilbene, and gnetol exhibited similar abilities to attenuate vascular alterations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules22030380","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,28]],"date-time":"2017-02-28T10:57:52Z","timestamp":1488279472000},"page":"380","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Peripheral and Cerebral Resistance Arteries in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Heart Failure Rat: Effects of Stilbenoid Polyphenols"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Danielle","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, 750 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T5, Canada"},{"name":"Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine, St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre, 351 Tach\u00e9 Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Crystal","family":"Acosta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine, St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre, 351 Tach\u00e9 Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, 753 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6, Canada"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Program, Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0Z3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, 753 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6, Canada"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Program, Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0Z3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6570-6678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hope","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, 750 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T5, Canada"},{"name":"Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine, St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre, 351 Tach\u00e9 Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, 753 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.1161\/01.HYP.36.3.312","article-title":"Structure and mechanical properties of resistance arteries in hypertension: Role of adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix determinants","volume":"36","author":"Intengan","year":"2000","journal-title":"Hypertension"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"15A","article-title":"Vascular changes in hypertension in response to drug treatment: Effects of angiotensin receptor blockers","volume":"18","author":"Schiffrin","year":"2002","journal-title":"Can.
