Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevents up-regulation of angiotensin II type 1A receptors in rat injured artery.
We investigated the effects of the angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor (AT1) antagonist KRH-594 on levels of the mRNAs for AT1A, AT1B, platelet-derived growth factor-receptor beta (PDGF-Rbeta), and extracellular matrix (ECM)-related genes using the competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method and on neointimal formation in the balloon-injured rat carotid arter...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker in a rat model of chronic glaucoma.
PURPOSE To investigate the neuroprotective effect of candesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) blocker, against the neurotoxicity of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in an animal model of glaucoma. METHODS Cauterization of three episcleral vessels in rats was used to create chronically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in one eye. Rats were then treated orally with candesartan...
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 کاملUpregulation of angiotensin II type 1 receptor, inflammatory mediators, and enzymes of arachidonate metabolism in obese Zucker rat kidney: reversal by angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade.
BACKGROUND Severe obesity can result in proteinuria and progressive glomerulosclerosis in humans and experimental animals. The associated renal disease is ameliorated by weight reduction and/or blockade of the renin-angiotensin system. Various growth factors, cytokines, and lipid mediators are implicated in the pathogenesis of renal disease. To explore the possible involvement of these mediator...
متن کاملEffect 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...
