Controlled Hemorrhage Sensitizes Angiotensin II-Elicited Hypertension through Activation of the Brain Renin-Angiotensin System Independently of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Figure 5

Quantitative comparison of the mRNA expression of renin-angiotensin system components, proinflammatory cytokines, and endoplasmic reticulum stress marker in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in sham hemorrhage (S-HEM), HEM, and HEM plus treatment with either captopril (Cap) or diminazene aceturate (DIZE) rats (a) or HEM plus treatment with either 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) or tunicamycin (TM) rats (b) before angiotensin II infusion ( vs. S-HEM rats; # vs. HEM rats).
