Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transgenic rat TGR(mRen2)27, carrying the mouse Ren-2 gene, is a new model to elucidate the role of the local renin-angiotensin system in vivo. However, the role of the local renin-angiotensin system in the heart remains to be determined in TGR(mRen2)27. METHODS AND RESULTS: TGR(mRen2)27 were treated with various antihypertensive drugs for 6 weeks to examine the effects on cardiac hypertrophy and...
