Topics on the Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger: Role of Vascular NCX1 in Salt-Dependent Hypertension
Excess salt intake is a major risk factor for hypertension. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying salt-dependent hypertension remain obscure. Our recent studies using selective Na+/Ca2+ exchange inhibitors and genetically engineered mice provide compelling evidence that salt-dependent hyperte...
