Our study evaluated NO synthase (NOS) activity and protein expression of its three isoforms - neuronal (nNOS), endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible (iNOS) - in two brain regions involved in blood pressure control (diencephalon and brainstem) as well as in the kidney of rats with either genetic (SHR) or salt-induced hypertension (Dahl rats). We disclosed similar changes of NO system in the brainstem (but not in the diencephalon) of rats with genetic and salt-induced hypertension. Decreased nNOS expression was associated with increased blood pressure due to enhanced sympathetic tone
