Angiotensin II regulates cytochrome P-450 steroid hydroxylase enzyme expression in human adrenal glomerulosa cells.

abstract：:Increased insulinemic response to an oral glucose load has been demonstrated in Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats. To determine whether this abnormality is mediated at the level of the insulin receptor, we compared insulin receptor binding and mRNA levels in tissues of Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS) and in their no...
