To test the hypothesis that a stimulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes to hypertension in aged Hyp mice, we administered the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan (30 mg/kg twice daily) or the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist canrenone (30 mg/kg once daily) to aged Hyp and WT mice over 5 days. Here, NR3C2 is linked to Hypertension.
