With the chronicity of CIH, the animals develop arterial HTN, and we were the first to demonstrate that CIH activates the AhR signaling, particularly in the kidney, and a role for AhR signaling in CIH-induced arterial hypertension (Coelho et al. 2020; Correia et al. 2021; Pimpão et al. 2023). Here, AHR is linked to Hypertension.
