Chronic Noise Exposure in the Spontaneously Hypertensive RatKeywords: Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, noise stress, stress hormones Abstract: Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between the relative risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and long-term exposure to elevated levels of transportation noise. The contention is that this association is largely owing to an increase in stress-related biomarkers that are thought to be associated with CVD. Animal models have demonstrated that acute noise exposure is capable of triggering a stress response; however, similar studies using chronic noise models are less common
