Increased cerebrovascular permeability to protein is a well-documented finding in acute and chronic hypertension. In this study, we examined the effect of pretreatment with a calcium entry blocker, flunarizine, on the increased cerebrovascular permeability to protein that develops in norepinephrine-induced acute hypertension.
