This paper showed that changes in the gut microbiota, including changes in SCFA-producing bacteria, are associated with hypertension in the SHR model; in addition, this study provides evidence that gut dysbiosis occurs in human hypertension

Physiol Genomics. 2016;physiolgenomics 00089 2016. This paper demonstrated that Gpr41 null animals have a phenotype including isolated systolic hypertension, further indicating a role for SCFAs and SCFA receptors in blood pressure regulation.

This paper demonstrated that Olfr78 null animals have a phenotype including lowered plasma renin, indicating a role for SCFAs and SCFA receptors in blood pressure regulation
