Retinal angiotensin II and angiotensin-(1-7) response to hyperglycemia and an intervention with captopril
Hypothesis: Hyperglycemia decreases angiotensin-(1-7), the endogenous counter-regulator of angiotensin II in the retina. Materials and methods: The distribution and levels of retinal angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) were evaluated by confocal imaging and quantitative immunoh...
