Role of Angiotensin Type 2 Receptor on Nitric Oxide Production Response to Angiotensin II Administration in Ovariectomised Rats Treated with Estradiol
Background: Renin-angiotensin system activity is gender related. The vasodilatory response of angiotensin II (AngII) angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) may involve nitric oxide (NO) production. We attempted to find the role of AT2R on NO formation response to AngII administration in ovariectomised r...

Methods: A total of 33 female Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups; intact animals, ovariectomised treated with placebo (OVX) and OVE. At 2 weeks later, all animals were subjected to anesthetize and catheterize and each group was divided into two subgroups that received AT2R antagonist (PD123319) or vehicle. Each animal was subjected to 1 h continuous infusion of AngII (~20 μg/kg/h) and the level of NO metabolite (nitrite) was measured before and after AngII infusion.
