Treg lymphocytes
- Activated pathogenic Th17 lymphocytes induce hypertension following high-fructose intake in Dahl salt-sensitive but not Dahl salt-resistant rats
Summary: Activation of pathogenic Th17 lymphocytes induces hypertension after high-fructose intake in salt-sensitive rats. Immune activation plays an important role in the development of hypertension, whereas immune tolerance is protective against hypertension.
