Cardiac remodeling during and after renin–angiotensin system stimulation in Cyp1a1-Ren2 transgenic rats

This study investigated renin–angiotensin system (RAS)-induced cardiac remodeling and its reversibility in the presence and absence of high blood pressure (BP) in Cyp1a1-Ren2 transgenic inducible hypertensive rats (IHR). In IHR (pro)renin levels and BP can be dose-dependently titrated by oral admini...
