Candesartan abrogates G protein-coupled receptors agonist-induced MAPK activation and cardiac myocyte hypertrophy
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has been identified as a major contributor to the development of cardiac hypertrophy and the subsequent transition to heart failure. G protein-coupled receptors agonists such as angiotensin II (Ang II), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and phenylephrine (PE) have b...
