Abilities of candesartan and other AT receptor blockers to impair angiotensin II-induced AT receptor activation after wash-out
Angiotensin II (Ang II) binds to Ang II type 1 (AT 1 ) receptor and evokes cell signaling, and subsequently stimulates vasoconstriction and cell proliferation, which eventually lead to cardiovascular disease. Since most AT 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) have molecular (differential) effects, we evaluate...
