Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide deficiency is involved in the development of hypertension, but the mechanisms are currently unclear. This study was conducted to further elucidate the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in blood pressure regulation and renin release in relation to different sodium loads. METHODS: Blood pressure and heart rate were measured telemetrically and assessed during periods of physical...
