Oxidative stress increases the expression of the angiotensin-II receptor type 1 in mouse peritoneal macrophages

Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to accelerate atherogenesis, and the cellular Ang II type 1 (AT 1 ) -receptor mediates most of Ang II-induced proatherogenic effects. In this study we have examined the effect of macrophage oxidative stress on cellular AT 1 -receptor expression. Mouse peritonea...
