These results suggest a larger contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to the maintenance of BP in hypertension, as previously shown by our group and others in Ang II (Lerman et al., 2019; Li et al., 2012; Nunes & Braga, 2011) and DOCA‐salt (Banek et al., 2019; Basting & Lazartigues, 2017; Li et al., 2014, 2015; Souza et al., 2019; Xu et al., 2019; Xu, Sriramula, et al., 2017) hypertensive mouse models. Here, AGT is linked to hypertensive disorder.
