Article Title: Long-term exposure to high-altitude hypoxic environments reduces blood pressure by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system in rats
doi: 10.3389/fphys.2025.1565147
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of high-altitude hypoxic conditions on angiotensin Ⅰ (Ang I), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II (Ang II), angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2), angiotensin 1–7 (Ang [1–7]), and Mas receptor (MasR) expression in Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Data are presented as the median (interquartile range) (n = 6). Note: WKY-C, SHR-C, WKY-H, and SHR-H refer to the WKY control group, SHR control group, WKY high-altitude hypoxia group, and SHR high-altitude hypoxia group, respectively. *P < 0.05 (vs. WKY-C) and # P < 0.05 (vs. SHR-C).
