Abstract excerpt
Persistent reduction of renal perfusion pressure induces renovascular hypertension by activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; however, the sensing mechanism remains elusive. Here we investigated the role of PGI2 in renovascular hypertension in vivo, employing mice lacking the PGI2 receptor (IP-/- mice). In WT mice with a two-kidney, one-clip model of renovascular hypertension, the BP was...
