Role of the Adaptive Immune System in Angiotensin II Induced Vascular Remodeling and Stiffening
Elevation of blood pressure leads to structural and functional alterations in vasculature, resulting in increased arterial stiffness, which in turn is a predictor of future hypertension and cardiovascular risks. Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a crucial role in blood pressure regulation. In addition t...
