EGLN1 and Hypertension: Continuously administered dimethyl oxalyl glycine (DMOG) exacerbated hypertension induced by nitric oxide synthase inhibition and high salt diet (Dallatu et al., 2013), but attenuated deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt hypertension (Dallatu et al., 2014) and renal end organ damage in Dahl salt-sensitive rats (Kato et al., 2020), which could be confirmed by silencing of the PHD2 gene in the renal medulla (Zhu et al., 2014).
