In an attempt to elucidate whether there is a specific alpha1-adrenergic receptor (alpha1-AR) subtype involved in the genesis or maintenance of hypertension, the alpha1D-AR subtype was evaluated in a model of salt-induced hypertension. The alpha1D-AR-deficient (alpha1D-/-) and control (alpha1D+/+) mice (n=8 to 14 in each group) were submitted to subtotal nephrectomy and given 1% saline as drinking water for 35...
