α2δ‐1 couples to NMDA receptors in the hypothalamus to sustain sympathetic vasomotor activity in hypertension

α2δ‐1 is upregulated, promoting the interaction with NMDA receptors (NMDARs), in the hypothalamus in a rat model of hypertension. The prevalence of α2δ‐1–bound NMDARs at synaptic sites in the hypothalamus is increased in hypertensive animals. α2δ‐1 is essential for the increased presynaptic and postsynaptic NMDAR activity of hypothalamic neurons in hypertension. α2δ‐1–bound NMDARs in the hypothalamus are critically involved in augmented sympathetic outflow in hypertensive animals.
