The capillary network of nuclei n. reticularis pontis caudalis and n. ventralis thalami of the brain of the normal rats and animals with DOCA-salt and renal forms of experimental hypertension have been studied. It is shown that in 91 92% of the visual fields the number of capillary fragments is statistically significantly decreased as compared to the controls. 8-9% of the visual fields did not show statistically significant difference from the normal as to the density of the capillaries.
