Increased microglial activation and neuroinflammation within autonomic brain regions such as the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) have been implicated in stress-induced hypertension (SIH). Prorenin, a member of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS), can directly activate microglia. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of prorenin on microglial activation in the RVLM of SIH rats. Rats were subjected to inte...

On the basis of the daily minimum temperature, records of 109 meteorological stations over Northeastern China ( NEC ) from 1961 to 2013 and the output data of eight models from CMIP5 , this study investigates the recent and future spatiotemporal changes of the frost‐free season. The results show that the date of last spring frost ( LSFD ) has a significant decreasing trend. Stations exhibiting significant negative trends are m...
