Figure 3: Innate and adaptive immune cells that have been implicated in hypertension pathophysiology.

Figure 3:

Cells of the innate and adaptive immune system secrete factors including reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and cytokines that promote or inhibit hypertension and hypertensive end-organ damage. The role of eosinophils and B cells, which secrete immunoglobulins such as IgG, is still unclear. (Illustration Credit: Ben Smith)
