AGT and Hypertension: While there may be fibers of passage from activated SFO neurons in the MnPO capable of mediating this response (Miselis, 1981), we do not believe these to be responsible as our previous studies in rats with lesions of the SFO showed minimal attenuation of hypertension during “AngII‐salt induced hypertension” (Osborn et al., 2012).
