Abstract:Hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases worldwide and is known to be dominated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Previously, we found that targeting A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) in glutamatergic neurons was able to blunt Ang-II-induced excitation of pre-autonomic neurons, and blocked DOCA-salt treatment-induced sympatho-excitation in mice, thereby alleviating their development of hypertension. However, how ADAM17 support the activation of pre-autonomic neuron… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
