Androgen-sensitive hypertension associated with soluble guanylate cyclase-α<sub>1</sub> deficiency is mediated by 20-HETE
4 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Dysregulated nitric oxide (NO) signaling contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension, a prevalent and often sex-specific risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We previously reported that mice deficient in the α1-subunit of the NO receptor soluble guanylate cyclase (sGCα1 (-/-) mice) display sex- and strain-specific hypertension: male but not female sGCα1 (-/-) mice are hypertensive on an 129S6 (S6) but not...
