Human and Rodent Skeletal Muscles Express Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptors
Abundant evidence reveals that activation of the renin-angiotensin system promotes skeletal muscle atrophy in several conditions including congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. However, controversy exists about whether circulating angiotensin II (Ang...
