Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor subtypes 1 (AT1) and 2 (AT2) in producing vascular wall hypertrophy and qualitative changes in smooth muscle cell gene expression. Wistar rats were treated for 23 days with osmotic minipumps containing solvent and either Ang II (120 ng.kg-1.min-1) or PD123319 (30 mg.kg-1.d-1), an AT2 receptor antagonist. In addition, rats...
