Objectives Recent studies have demonstrated that pro-inflammatory molecules such as
junctional adhesion molecules-1 are highly expressed in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) …

Since the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is a pivotal region for regulating the set‐point of
arterial pressure, we proposed a role for it in the development of neurogenic hypertension …

Human essential hypertension is a complex polygenic trait with underlying genetic
components that remain unknown. Since the brainstem structure—the nucleus of the solitary …

Since the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) is a pivotal region for regulating the set-point of
arterial pressure, we proposed a role for it in the development of neurogenic hypertension …

Essential hypertension is idiopathic although it is accepted as a complex polygenic trait with
underlying genetic components, which remain unknown. Our supposition is that …

Background: The recruitment of leukocytes to the vascular wall is a key step in hypertension
development. Chemokine receptor CXCR2 mediates inflammatory cell chemotaxis in …

New genetic evidence strongly supports a role for the immune system in the pathogenesis of
essential hypertension (EH) through chemokines and their receptors (CCR) involvement …

Chemokines promote vascular inflammation and play a pathogenic role in the development
and maintenance of hypertension. In the present study, the expression of the chemokine …

Abstract Angiotensin II (Ang II) exerts some of its effects on the vasculature by stimulating
chemokines and 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO). In addition, a high expression of chemokines by …

Hypertension has been suggested to exert pro-inflammatory actions through increased
expression of several mediators, including chemokines. Chemokines are involved in …
