Abstract
⺠ROCK and adrenergically-mediated VC were examined in hypertensive human cutaneous circulation. ⺠ROCK and adrenergic VC were upregulated in HT vs. NT despite a similar magnitude of VC. ⺠ROCK activity but not expression was increased in skin samples from hypertensives. ⺠ROCK contributes to cutaneous microvascular dysfunction in early stage essential hypertension.
