P2X7 receptor in cardiovascular disease: The heart side.

abstract：:1. Infusion of increasing doses of angiotensin II (AII) in normal subjects sequentially increased blood pressure, aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels. 2. The slope of ANP response to AII was positively correlated with basal ANP and with the slope of blood pressure response to AII (pressor slope) bu...
