Do Angiotensin Type 2 Receptors Modulate Haemodynamic Effects of Type 1 Receptors in Conscious Newborn Lambs?

Introduction and hypothesis: It was hypothesized that in the immediate newborn period, when the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is activated, angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2Rs) buffer the haemodynamic effects of angiotensin type 1 receptors (AT1Rs), as occurs in adult animals when the RAS is activa...
