Angiotensin II may impair baroreflex sensitivity independently of blood pressure in this model; leaves open translation to human hypertension.
In Lyon hypertensive rats, impaired spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity is mediated by cardiac hypertrophy or direct angiotensin II effects rather than elevated blood pressure alone.
Lantelme et al. (1998) studied this question.
