Effect of angiotensin(1-7) on heart function in an experimental rat model of obesity
Aim: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Recently it was shown that overexpression of the Mas- receptor antagonist angiotensin(1-7) could prevent from diet- induced obesity. However, it remained unclear whether diet-induced obesity and angiotensin(1-7) overexpres...
