Genetic, Epigenetic and Dietary Salt effects on Microbiota and Hypertension
Description: 8. Project Narrative Aided by preliminary data, the current proposal seeks to address the fundamental relationship between gut and oral microbiota and the host in the context of salt-sensitive hypertension. Genetic and epigenetic cause-effect relationships will be examined using an integrated approach of using custom genetically-altered rat strains and metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metabolomics approaches.
