Blockade of Salusin-β in Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Attenuates Hypertension and Cardiac Hypertrophy in Salt-induced Hypertensive Rats.

Abstract:Salusin-β, a multifunctional bioactive peptide, is considered as a promising candidate biomarker for predicting cardiovascular diseases. This study was designed to determine whether inhibition of salusin-β in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) delays the progression of hypertens
