Angiotensin II may mediate apoptosis via AT1-receptors in the rat cardiac conduction system
Introduction Apoptosis and angiotensin II (Ang II) have been suggested as possible causes of arrhythmias. In addition, Ang II via Ang II type I (AT1-) receptors, has been demonstrated to induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The transgenic m(Ren-2)27 (TG) rat carries the additional Ren-2 gene, the express...
