Objectives. To study changes in morphology, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the AGEs receptor, RAGE, that occur with ageing in intrarenal small arteries (IRSAs) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and to investigate the possible roles of hypertension, AGEs and RAGE in the progression of IRSA remodelling and stiffness with ageing in rats. METHODS: Ageing SHRs and ageing normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats were studied. The minimal renal vascular resistance (minRVR) was measured. Renal arcuate arteries (RAAs) and interlobular arteries (RILAs), the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, AGEs, RAGE and the plasma concentrations of AGEs were also examined. RESULTS: The IRSA minRVR, wall thickening, cell proliferation and collagen deposition in RILAs and RAAs gradually increased with age in SHRs and were much higher in 24-week-old SHRs than in age-matched WKY rats (p
