Up- and down-regulation of angiotensin II AT-A and AT-B receptors in afferent and efferent rat kidney arterioles
Introduction. The contractile effect of angiotensin II via AT 1 receptors on the kidney arterioles is a crucial element in the kidney microcirculation.Angiotensin II also plays a role as an inhibitor via the AT 1 receptors in the renin granulation of the arterioles.We have previously demonstrated th...
