Raised blood pressure, not renin-angiotensin systems, causes cardiac fibrosis in TGR m(Ren2)27 rats.

abstract：AIMS:Hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) is an endogenously generated gaseous transmitter that has recently been suggested to regulate cardiovascular functions. To date, there is no direct evidence for a potential role of H(2)S in regulating calcium channels in the heart. The present study aims to examine the hypothesis that H(2...
