Interestingly, a similar whole-body accumulation of plant sterols, less severe than in human sitosterolemia, has been reported recently in SHR, SHRSP and WKY rats, but not in the other genetically related rat strains, such as SD, Wistar and WKA rats [ 16 ] . These rats exhibit defects at two levels: increased absorption of sterols (plant and animal) at the intestinal level and decreased excretion of sterols into bile [ 16 ] . The higher sterol absorption in the intestine and the lower biliary excretion of plant sterols in these rat strains led us to hypothesise that Abcg5 or Abcg8 gene mutations may be responsible for the sitosterolemia observed in these hypertensive rats.
Recent evidence suggests that apoptosis is involved in several pathological processes in the lung [ 30 31 32 ] and kidney [ 33 34 35 36 37 ] . Using the Dahl/Rapp salt-sensitive (S) rat, which develops hypertensive nephrosclerosis that resembles the human disease process [ 5 ] , this laboratory demonstrated an early and inappropriate apoptotic process that occurred in both glomerular and tubular compartments of the kidneys and correlated with the decline in glomerular filtration rate.
For example, Rubattu and colleagues [ 73 ] identified 3 major quantitative trait loci in the F2 cross of stroke-prone and spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The study of the elderly was an RCT that assessed the effect of a computer-controlled, automated telephone system versus usual office-based care on adherence and blood pressure control in older hypertensive patients [ 27 ] . Mean antihypertensive medication adherence improved 17.
These data, along with the previous studies that confirmed morphological evidence of apoptosis and biochemical evidence of caspase-3 activation in these kidneys [ 7 ] , showed a role for the Fas/FasL pathway in promoting the loss of kidney function that develops in the setting of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in this model.
