The Role of P2X7 Purinergic Receptors in the Renal Inflammation Associated with Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension

The Role of P2X7 Purinergic Receptors in the Renal Inflammation Associated with Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension

Purinergic receptors play a central role in the renal pathophysiology of angiotensin II-induced hypertension, since elevated ATP chronically activates P2X7 receptors in this model. The changes induced by the P2X antagonist Brilliant blue G (BBG) in glomerular hemodynamics and in tubulointerstitial i...
