Angiotensin II-nitric oxide interaction in glomerular arterioles.

abstract：:1. Studies using animal experimental models have suggested that the beta2-adrenoceptor is uncoupled in association with alterations in the expression of G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRK) 2/3 in heart failure. However, the functional expression of the components of this pathway in human disease has not been full...

abstract：:1. Heterogeneity in the receptors for the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been apparent for nearly 20 years. This is most clearly manifested in the observation of CGRP(8-37)-sensitive and -insensitive populations of CGRP-activated receptors. The pA(2) values for CGRP(8-37) in excess of 7 are wi...
