Molecular structure and function of angiotensin type 2 receptor.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Angiotensin II (Ang II) can up-regulate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NAD(P)H] oxidase, whose product superoxide anion (O2-) can interact with nitric oxide (NO) to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-). We tested the hypothesis that Ang II subtype 1 (AT1) receptor activation enhances oxidative stress and...

abstract：:The essential role of the glycoprotein hormone erythropoietin (Epo) in the control of red blood cell production is well established. Synthesis of Epo is induced in response to low oxygen (hypoxia). In response to stimulation, increases in serum Epo levels are paralleled by changes in the abundance of Epo mRNA. These c...
