Brief description This proposal aims to examine central mechanisms important in stress related hypertension. My team will focus on the role of tissue plasminogen activator in mediating inhibitory effects of chronic stress on neural plasticity and examine inhibitory dysfunction in GABAergic and nitric oxide pathways that lead to increased sympathetic activity and elevated blood pressure. Importantly, we will investigate the potential of three interventions directed at each as therapies for hypertension.
