Intracellular and extracellular renin have opposite effects on the regulation of heart cell volume. Implications for myocardial ischaemia
The influence of intracellular renin plus angiotensinogen (Ao) as well as angiotensin (Ang) II on cell volume was investigated in myocytes isolated from the heart of four-month-old cardiomyopathic hamsters (TO-2) and normal hamsters (F1B). Measurements of cell width and cell length were performed on...
