Abstract 241: Splenic T Regulatory Lymphocytes Are Reduced in Genetically Hypertensive Rats Associated with Central Sympathoexcitation [Poster Session I]

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that splenic Tregs are reduced in SHRSP at both prehypertensive and established hypertensive stages. These alterations may contribute to the development and maintenance of hypertension. Central sympathoinhibition increases the reduced splenic Tregs in SHRSP suggesting interaction between sympathetic hyperactivity and Tregs.
