Inhibition of SGLT2 reduces blood pressure in the early phase of salt-sensitive hypertension in male Dahl-SS rats independently of changes in renal inflammation.

Salt-sensitive hypertension is a progressive condition characterized by albuminuria, renal injury, and inflammation. The initiating mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that early in salt-sensit...

Effects of adrenal ablation on blood pressure and target organ damage in deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertensive rats.
