Proposed mechanism for CX3CR1-microglia and fractalkine during hypertension triggered by fructose in the NTS. Treatment with a CX3CR1 inhibitor (AZD8797) illustrated that CX3CR1-microglia acts as regulator of blood pressure through the ERK1/2-Akt-nNOS pathway. Inhibition of CX3CR1 decreases blood pressure and enhances the activity of Akt-ERK1/2-nNOS pathway in the NTS during fructose-induced hypertension
