Male and female, massively obese and nonobese, spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) which are hypersensitive to stress were kept under quiescent conditions; they were autopsied at 15 months of age. The blood pressure of the Obese/SHR plateaued at 166 mmHg versus 198 mmHg for the nonobese/SHR. The once massive thymi vanished in the Obese/SHR accompanied by greatly enlarged adrenal glands, pituitary basophilia, greatly elevated levels of adrenocorticotrophin, corticosterone, deoxycorticosterone, aldosterone, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. The Obese/SHR were hyperadrenocorticoid compared with their nonobese siblings and manifested a Cushingoid spectrum of degenerative changes (e.g., thin skin, hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, and accelerated aging). The provision of a nonstressful environment is believed to have dampened the usual chronic hyperadrenocorticism and prolonged the lifespan of the Obese/SHR.
