Biphasic effects of angiotensin (1-7) and its interactions with angiotensin II in rat aorta

Using isolated rat aortic rings perfused with Krebs-Henseleit saline, the vascular effects of angiotensin (1-7) (Ang [1-7]) and its interactions with angiotensin II (Ang II) were investigated. Ang (1-7) induced endothelium-dependent relaxation and vasodilating effects in preparations precontracted w...
