• in severe cases fibrinoid necrosis is seen in the perivascular area of the coronary artery in heterozygous mice given angiotensin II and fed a high salt diet

• inflammation of the perivascular area of the coronary artery is more severe in heterozygous mice given angiotensin II and fed a high salt diet compared to similarly treated wild-type mice

• elevated urinary excretion of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and isoprostane, elevated expression of Ncf2 and Cybb, and increased 3-nitrotyrosine staining all indicate elevated oxidative stress in the hearts of heterozygous mice given angiotensin II and fed a high salt diet compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
