SGK1 and Hypertension: Of note, identified genes were related to cerebral circulation insufficiency such as immune responses (Cd74 and Prkcd), response to hypoxia (Ddit4, Apold1, and Prkcd), reactive oxygen species metabolic process (Ddit4 and Pdk4) and apoptotic process (Ddit4, Prkcd, and Sgk1), suggesting that MKP administration prevented cerebral ischemia associated with hypertension.
