The present study was designed to investigate the structural changes of blood vessels in 6 months aged SHR in comparison to their corresponding model, Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). The study utilised 12 male rats; which were equally divided into 6 SHR and 6 WKY. During dissection, thoracic aorta was harvested for histological examination. To evaluate the morphological appearance of SHR and WKY, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain was done. Whereas Scanning electron microscopy was applied to view the ultrastructure of the vessel. The result shows that the aorta histology of WKY looks normal; depicted by showing smooth intima with a single layer of endothelial cells. In contrast with SHR, the structure was slightly distorted and thicker intima observed; suggesting vascular remodeling has occurred. 18 1 5-10
