FIGURE
Simplified schematic illustrating the signaling pathways (top box), as well as neural networks and sympathetic nervous system influenced physiological outputs (middle box) involved in the development of hypertension due to peripherally- or locally-generated Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) action in the brain. Common animal models used to evaluate Ang-II, the brain and hypertension are also highlighted (bottom box). See text for additional details.
