The sympathetic nervous system is activated in Mdk−/− mice. (A–C) Serum catecholamine (noradrenaline [A], dopamine [B], and adrenaline [C]) concentrations (n=5, each). (D) sBP change (ΔsBP) after intravenous administration of hexamethonium, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, is larger in Mdk−/− mice than in Mdk+/+ mice (n=4, each). P=0.08 (Mdk+/+ versus Mdk−/−). Data are presented as the mean±SEM. NAD, noradrenaline; DOPA, dopamine; AD, adrenaline; sBP, systolic BP.
