Telmisartan protects chronic intermittent hypoxic mice via modulating cardiac renin-angiotensin system activity

Abstract Background To explore the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), which mimics sleep apnea syndrome, on the cardiac renin angiotensin system (RAS), and to investigate the cardiac protection of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)telmisartan (TERT) against CIH. Methods 32 healthy mal...
