Results of previous studies suggested that incertohypothalamic dopamine (IHDA) neurons
located in the medial zona incerta (MZI) project to the central nucleus of the amygdala (cAMY)…

The objectives were to determine if ANG II-induced hypertension is maintained by activation
of endothelin type A (ET A ) receptors by endogenous ET-1 and if this effect is influenced by …

We showed recently that endothelin (ET) A receptors are involved in the salt sensitivity of ANG
II-induced hypertension. The objective of this current study was to characterize the role of …

Long-term administration of a subpressor dose of angiotensin II (Ang II) leads to pressor
hyperresponsiveness and slow development of hypertension. Our preliminary data show that …

Hypertension produced by chronic infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) is significantly blunted
by blockade of endothelin-1 (ET-1) ET A subtype receptors. Furthermore, this model is salt-…

Objectives The antihypertensive effect of thiazide diuretics in angiotensin II induced hypertension
has never been characterized. In the current study, we sought to determine the effect of …

The fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most intensively studied organisms in biology
and serves as a model system for the investigation of many developmental and cellular …

1 We previously showed that a selective ETA receptor antagonist, ABT627, completely
normalized mean arterial pressure (MAP) in rats with chronic Ang II induced hypertension (AIH), …

Climate change is a major threat to ecosystems and people around the world. 1 Risk analysts,
including the US Department of Defense, rank climate change as one of the most serious …
