Comparison of the AT1-receptor blockers candesartan, irbesartan and losartan for inhibiting renal microvascular constriction

Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers differ in their affinity for the AT1-receptor, suggesting a dissimilar potency for inhibiting Ang II-induced vascular constriction.
