Surprisingly contrary to our hypothesis, we reported that SFO lesion had minor effects on the overall magnitude of the “AngII‐salt induced hypertension” (Osborn et al., 2012), and the attenuated rise in blood pressure was similar to that observed in our earlier study using normal salt in the “AngII hypertension” model (Hendel & Collister, 2005). This evidence concerns the gene AGT and Hypertension.
