Searching for hypertension-related molecular markers among the human genes orthologous to the 42 hippocampal DEGs (of tame versus aggressive rats) identified in this work. Here, we took into account the number of their homologous DEGs in the tissues of hypertensive versus normotensive subjects (patients and animals).
