As to ACE2 in the RVLM, value for WKY-SHR was <0.0001, value for Sed-ExT was <0.0001, and value for cross interactions was 0.0002; as to MasR in the RVLM, value for WKY-SHR was 0.1891, value for Sed-ExT was <0.0001, and value for cross interactions was 0.0003; as to ACE2 in the NTS, value for WKY-SHR was 0.0002, value for Sed-ExT was 0.9242, and value for cross interactions was 0.8496; as to MasR in the NTS, value for WKY-SHR was 0.0075, value for Sed-ExT was 0.0231, and value for cross interactions was 0.0612.
