Vascular angiotensin II type 2 receptor attenuates atherosclerosis via a kinin/NO-dependent mechanism

Introduction: The angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor exerts pro-atherogenic action by augmenting oxidative stress, whereas the Ang II type 2 receptor (AT 2 )-mediated effect on atherosclerosis remains controversial. Materials and methods: AT 2 transgenic (AT 2 -Tg) mice, which overexpress AT 2...
