Impaired glutathione redox system paradoxically suppresses angiotensin II-induced vascular remodeling.

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin II (AII) plays a central role in vascular remodeling via oxidative stress. However, the interaction between AII and reduced glutathione (GSH) redox status in cardiovascular remodeling remains unknown. METHODS: In vivo: The cuff-induced vascular injury model was applied to Spr...
