2013). βCR knockout mice appears to have normal development and, as would be expected, normal erythropoiesis (Sautina et al. 2010; Hand and Brines 2011; Cerami 2012; Debeljak et al. 2014; Collino et al. 2015). However, investigation of blood pressure and arterial function has not been reported. It would also be interesting to test whether βIP attenuates EPO‐induced hypertension in experimental animal models. This evidence concerns the gene EPO and hypertensive disorder.
