The statement that is not a result of hypertension is:

The liver excretes excess cholesterol in bile.

This statement is not directly related to the effects of hypertension. Hypertension primarily affects the cardiovascular system, leading to issues such as heart failure, increased workload on the heart, and damage to blood vessel walls. The liver's function in cholesterol metabolism is not a direct consequence of high blood pressure.
