Olmesartan Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy in Mice Overexpressing Renin Independently of Blood Pressure: Its Beneficial Effects on ACE2/Ang(1-7)/Mas Axis and NADPH Oxidase Expression.

abstract：:Cultured vascular smooth muscle cells derived by enzymatic dissociation of rabbit aortic media were used for study of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors (AAR) and receptor-coupled calcium flux. AAR were characterized by binding of the alpha 1-selective radioligand [3H]prazosin, and norepinephrine-stimulated 45calcium efflux...
