Wistar Kyoto rat stellate ganglia transcriptome. Rattus norvegicus strain:Wistar Kyoto

Sympathetic hyperactivity can result from cell-autonomous changes in neurons that innervate cardiovascular target tissues. Stellate ganglia are of particular interest because the majority of sympathetic neurons innervating the heart reside there. The cardiovascular risk profiles in men and women are different. Transcriptomics provides a powerful tool for identifying genomic changes that contribute to sympathetic dysfunction in disease. Here we compared the transcriptomes of healthy stellate ganglia from adult male and female WKY rats.
