Effect of angiotensin type 2 receptor over-expression on the rat mesangial cell fibrotic phenotype: effect of gender
Background and aim : The protective role of angiotensin type 2 receptors (AT2-Rs) is still controversial. As AT2-Rs are minimally expressed in adult tissues the aim of the current study was to over-express AT2-Rs in rat mesangial cells in order to ascertain their potential role in modulating renal s...
