Molecular genetics of experimental hypertension and the metabolic syndrome: from gene pathways to new therapies.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies of human and experimental hypertension provide a means to identify key pathways that predispose individuals to increased blood pressure and associated risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The pathways so identified can then serve as targets for therapeutic intervention. This article discusses genetic studies in animal models of hypertension in which specific genes have been...
