Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Salt-sensitive hypertension (SSH) is associated with phenotypic changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). This study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in SSH and its impact on VSMC phenotype, focusing on the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. METHODS: In vivo, an SSH rat model was established. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was monitored, and mesenteric artery tissues were...
