Editorial Commentary Angiotensin II Infusion Model of Hypertension
There has been a long-standing interest in the possibility that activation of the sympathetic nervous system may contribute to the hypertension induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). This hypothesis is commonly assessed by chronically infusing Ang II and using various tests to determine the sympathetic component to the increase in arterial pressure. Despite a multitude of studies, it is still uncl...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 2 receptor gene transfer elicits cardioprotective effects in an angiotensin II infusion rat model of hypertension.
The role of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) in cardiovascular physiology remains elusive. We have developed an in vivo lentiviral vector-mediated gene transfer system to study the physiological functions of the AT2R. Our objectives in this study were to determine whether the AT2R influences cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial and perivascular fibrosis in a nongenetic rat model of hyper...
متن کاملCrocin prevents acute angiotensin II-induced hypertension in anesthetized rats
Objective: Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main product of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a well-known role in cardiovascular regulation. Over-production of Ang II is one of the important underlying mechanisms of hypertension. In this study, the effect of crocin on cardiovascular responses in rats with acute hypertension induced by Ang II was evaluated. Materials and methods: Rats were divided...
متن کاملDevelopment of hypertension induced by subpressor infusion of angiotensin II: role of sensory nerves.
Long-term administration of a subpressor dose of angiotensin II (Ang II) leads to pressor hyperresponsiveness and slow development of hypertension. Our preliminary data show that mRNA expression for calcitonin-gene related peptide in dorsal root ganglia was significantly increased by subpressor infusion of Ang II. To determine the role of sensory nerves in the development of hypertension induce...
