Angiotensin-(1-7) and the g protein-coupled receptor MAS are key players in renal inflammation.
Angiotensin (Ang) II mediates pathophysiologial changes in the kidney. Ang-(1-7) by interacting with the G protein-coupled receptor Mas may also have important biological activities.In this study, renal deficiency for Mas diminished renal damage in models of renal insufficiency as unilateral uretera...
