1. Altered expression of angiotensin II receptor subtypes and transforming growth factor-beta in the heart of nitrofen-induced diaphragmatic hernia in rats

The aim of this study was to determine the expression of Ag-II receptor subtypes and TGF-beta1 in the hypoplastic heart of nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Abstract:

The renin-angitensin system (RAS) plays an important role as a growth factor in cardiac development. Angiotensin converting enzyme is involved in converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (Ag-II). The effects of Ag-II are mediated by two primary receptors, type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2). Ag-II stimulates transforming growth factor-beta1(TGF-beta1) and acts as a potent stimulant of more...
