Effect of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade on cardiac remodeling in angiotensin II type 2 receptor null mice.
To clarify the possible involvement of uninhibited angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 (AT(2)) receptor stimulation in the effects of an Ang II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor blocker, valsartan, we examined the cardiovascular remodeling induced by aortic banding with the use of wild-type (Agtr2+) and AT(2) receptor null (Agtr2-) mice. Aortic banding caused cardiac hypertrophy in Agtr2+ and Agtr2- mice to a...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevents cardiac remodeling in bradykinin B(2) receptor knockout mice.
Knockout mice (B(2)(-/-)) lacking the bradykinin (BK) B(2) receptor gene develop mild hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and myocardial damage. We hypothesized that these effects are due to the hypertrophying and damaging actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the absence of the balancing protection of BK. To verify this hypothesis, B(2)(-/-) or wild-type mice (B(2)(+/+)) were administered a non...
متن کاملeffect of angiotensin ii type 1 receptor antagonist, losartan on inflammatory factor in atherosclerotic rabbits
materials and methods: 32 new zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, high-cholesterol group and losartan group. the level of weights, serum lipid levels and inflammatory factors, such as il-6 and hs c-reactive protein were detected before the losartan intervention and two months after the losartan intervention respectively. the content of angii was detected on l...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevents alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to the development of alcoholic cardiomyopathy. We evaluated the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1) blockade on the development of alcoholic cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS We serially evaluated left ventricular (LV) and cardiomyocyte function and the RAS over 6 months in 3 groups of instrument...
متن کاملEffect of Angiotensin II Type I Receptor Antagonist and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Running title: Effect of ACE and AT 1 blockers on VDR null mice Abstract We have recently shown that vitamin D receptor (VDR) inactivation results in deregulated stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). To address further the relationship between RAS activation and the abnormalities in electrolyte and volume homeostasis, we studied the effect of AT 1 receptor antagonist losartan and a...
