Abstract excerpt
Type 1 angiotensin II (AT(1)) receptor has a critical role in the development of load-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Recently, we showed that mechanical stretching of cells activates the AT(1) receptor without the involvement of angiotensin II (AngII) and that this AngII-independent activation is i...
