GABAB Receptor Gene Transfer into the Nucleus Tractus Solitarii Induces Chronic Blood Pressure Elevation in Normotensive Rats

摘要

BackgroundIncreasing evidence indicates that GABAergic neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) play a significant role in the arterial baroreceptor reflex and in the control of cardiovascular homeostasis. However, the role of these neurons in the development of hypertension is not yet fully clear.
