Exaggeration of Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Transgenic Mice Carrying Human Renin and Human Angiotensinogen Genes
21 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We examined the possibility that activation of the human brain renin-angiotensin system is involved in enhancement of ischemic brain damage using chimeric transgenic mice with human renin (hRN) and human angiotensinogen (hANG) genes. METHODS: Chimeric (hRN/hANG-Tg) mice were generated by mating of hRN and hANG transgenic mice. Permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) by an...
