  1. Mice were implanted with osmotic minipumps containing Ang II (750 ng/kg/day) or saline. Blood pressure was measured by tail-cuff plethysmography over the course of 14 days (Ssh1+/+ D0 vs. D7, *p < 0.001, n = 13–20 mice per group; Ssh1+/+ D0 vs. D14, **p < 0.001, n = 7–20 mice per group; Ssh1−/− D0 vs. D7, #p < 0.001, n = 14–18 mice per group; Ssh1−/− D0 vs. D14, ##p < 0.001, n = 7–18 mice per group)
