Molecular characterization and regulation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/MAS receptor axis during the ovulation process in cattle

The objective of this study was to characterize the profiles of Ang-(1-7), MAS receptor, ACE 2 , NEP and PEP during the ovulatory process in cattle. For this study, 40 synchronized cows with follicular diameter ≥ 12 mm were ovariectomized at different time-points (0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h) after i.m. ap...
