SLC16A1 and hypertensive disorder: The minor presence of MCT1 and MCT4 transporters in SHR intestinal epithelium had already been described by other groups (Yang et al., 2019; Robles‐Vera et al., 2020), but we are the first to also identify reduced SMCT1 mRNA levels in this model of hypertension, demonstrating a limitation in the absorption of SCFAs by the reduced expression of three, out of the five, known direct intestinal SCFAs transporters (Dalile et al., 2019).
