Caption: Figure 7: Quantitative comparison of the mRNA expression of renin-angiotensin system components and proinflammatory cytokines in the lamina terminalis (LT (a)) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN (b)) of rats receiving renal denervation (RD), intracerebroventricular (icv) infusion of AT1-R antagonist irbesartan (Irbe), or TNF-[alpha] inhibitor etanercept (ENT) after isoproterenol (ISO) administration (n = 6/group; ([section]) P < 0.05 versus Sham + saline; * P < 0.05 versus Sham + saline or RD + saline; (#) P < 0.05 versus Sham + ISO).
