Cerebral arteriolar structure in mice overexpressing human renin and angiotensinogen.
We examined the hypothesis that the renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in vascular remodeling (defined as reduced external diameter) during chronic hypertension. We measured pressure, diameter, and cross-sectional area of the vessel wall in maximally dilated cerebral arterioles in transgenic mice that overexpress both human renin and human angiotensinogen and in spontaneously hype...
متن کاملApoptosis is not increased in myocardium overexpressing type 2 angiotensin II receptor in transgenic mice.
To determine whether angiotensin type 2 (AT(2)) receptor stimulation induces apoptosis in cardiomyocytes in vivo, we developed transgenic mice overexpressing the AT(2) receptor in a cardiac-specific manner, using the alpha-myosin heavy-chain promoter. Ten- to 12-week-old male homozygous transgenic mice (n=44) and wild-type mice (n=44) were used. Both transgenic and wild-type mice were given eit...
متن کاملHypotension in transgenic mice overexpressing human bradykinin B2 receptor.
Bradykinin binds to its receptor at target organs and exerts a wide spectrum of biological activities including vasodilation, smooth muscle contraction and relaxation, pain, and inflammation. To gain a better insight into the physiological function of this potent vasoactive peptide, we created transgenic mice that harbor the human bradykinin B2 receptor transgene under the control of the Rous s...
متن کاملMice overexpressing both human angiotensinogen and human renin as a model of superimposed preeclampsia on chronic hypertension.
Preeclampsia is the major cause of maternal and fetal mortality/morbidity. Because hypertension is an important risk factor for preeclampsia, we investigated whether hypertensive mice that overexpress human renin and angiotensinogen develop superimposed preeclampsia. Given that the mechanisms underlying this disease are still poorly understood, animal models are of great use for elucidation. Bl...
