A new approach to identifying hypertension-associated genes in the mesenteric artery of spontaneously hypertensive rats and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats

Conclusion: The overexpression of Kcnq1, Crlf1, Alb and Xirp1 and the inhibition of Galr2, Kcnh1, Ache, Chrm2 and Slc5a7 expression may indicate that a relationship exists between these genes and the cause and/or worsening of hypertension in SHR and SHRSP.
