Role of Angiotensin II, Glutamate, Nitric Oxide and an Aldosterone-ouabain Pathway in the PVN in Salt-induced Pressor Responses in Rats

High salt intake contributes to the development of hypertension in salt-sensitive humans and animals and the mechanistic causes are poorly understood. In Dahl salt-sensitive (S) but not salt-resistant (R) rats, high salt diet increases cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [Na+] and activates an aldosterone-min...
