Fructose-rich diet induces gender-specific changes in expression of the renin–angiotensin system in rat heart and upregulates the ACE/AT1R axis in the male rat aorta

Introduction: The cardiovascular renin–angiotensin system (RAS) could be affected by gender and dietary regime. We hypothesized that male rats will be more susceptible to activation of RAS in the heart and aorta, as a response to a fructose-rich diet (FRD). Materials and methods: Both male and femal...
