Angiotensin facilitation of noradrenergic neurotransmission in central tissues of the rat: effects of sodium restriction.

abstract：:Primary pulmonary hypertension continues to be a fatal disease. We have recently demonstrated that long-term inhibition of Rho-kinase, an effector of the small GTPase Rho, is effective for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rats and humans. Prostacyclin has been clinically used for the treatment of PH wit...
