This volume provides comprehensive protocols that researchers can use to dissect out
fundamental principles and molecular mechanisms of hypertension extending from genetics of
experimental hypertension to biomarkers in clinical hypertension. Hypertension: Methods and
Protocols guides readers through chapters on genetics and mmics of hypertension the
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System vasoactive agents and hypertension signal transduction
and reactive oxygen species novel cell models and approaches to study molecular mechanisms of
hypertension vascular physiology and new approaches to manipulate mouse models to study
molecular mechanisms of hypertension. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular
Biology series format chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the
necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and
tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge
Hypertension: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of
this vital field.
