A Study of Morphological Changes in Renal Afferent Arterioles Induced by Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers in Hypertensive Patients

Background: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers are known to reduce hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in hypertensive cases. However, we have reported marked proliferative changes of renal afferent arteriolar SMCs in rats induced by a long-term administration of angiotensi...
