Transient involvement of endothelin in hypertrophic remodeling of small arteries.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] has been identified as a versatile, endogenous inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). As the therapeutic response to exogenous RAS inhibitors, such as AT1 receptor antagonists, is altered by changes in salt intake, we investigated the effect of a low, n...
