Popis: Background The biological mechanism of action for osteoprotegerin, a soluble decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor‐kappa B ligand in the vascular structure, has not been elucidated. The study aim was to determine if osteoprotegerin affects aortic structural integrity in angiotensin II (Ang II)‐induced hypertension. Methods and Results Mortality was higher (P
