Differential gene expression in the stellate ganglia of 16 week wistar and spontaneously hypertensive rat samples

Hypertension remains a poorly understood condition, and the understanding of the sympathetic nervous systems role in this disease remains even more limited. In this study, RNA-sequencing is used to identify transcriptomal differences in the sympathetic stellate ganglia between the 16-week-old normotensive wistar strain and the spontaneously hypertensive rat strain.This dataset should allow for further molecular characterisation of hypertensive changes in a cardiac-innervating sympathetic ganglion. Overall design: Comparison of normotensive and hypertensive rat stellate ganglia. 4 biological replicates for both 16 week wistar and SHR stellate ganglia samples were contrasted
