Effect of bestatin on angiotensin I-, II- and III-induced collagen gel contraction in cardiac fibroblasts
Objective The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the aminopeptidase inhibitor with broad specificity, bestatin, affects angiotensin I (Ang I)-, angiotensin II (Ang II)- or angiotensin III (Ang III)-stimulated collagen gel contraction in cardiac fibroblasts. Design and methods Car...
