Glucocorticoid modulates angiotensin II receptor expression patterns and protects the heart from ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Glucocorticoid regulates angiotensin II receptor (ATR) expression via activating glucocorticoid receptors and binding to glucocorticoid response elements. The regulation of ATR by glucocorticoids in the context of myocardial injury from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is yet to be elucidated. The present...
