Endothelium-dependent relaxation and angiotensin II sensitivity in experimental preeclampsia.
OBJECTIVE: We investigated endothelial dysfunction and the role of angiotensin (Ang)-II type I (AT1-R) and type II (AT2-R) receptor in the changes in the Ang-II sensitivity in experimental preeclampsia in the rat. METHODS: Aortic rings were isolated from low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infused pre...
