Abstract:weeks old pre-hypertensive SHRs and Wistar rats. Two PKA biosensors expressing cytoplasmic and the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) targeted AKAR4 were transferred to cultured sympathetic neurons. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer technique was used to measure dynamic changes of PKA concentration. No significant difference in Forskolin-evoked PKA activity was observed in the cytosol or at the OMM between SHR and Wistar neurons. However, direct PKA activation using Sp-8-Br-cAMP led to significantly highe… 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.
