Indeed, the blocker prevents both the increase in hypothalamic aldosterone and sympathetic hyperactivity and hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats on high salt intake.

This study showed that Ang II causes neuronal activation of the SFO, SON, and PVN and showed that increased angiotensinergic output from the SFO projecting to the hypothalamic nuclei may activate a central aldosterone-"ouabain" neuromodulatory pathway contributing to progressive sympathoexcitation and hypertension.
