  • Angiotensin II receptor subtype AT1 and AT2 expression after heart transplantation.

    Gullestad L, Haywood G, Aass H, Ross H, Yee G, Ueland T, Geiran O, Kjekshus J, Simonsen S, Bishopric N, Fowler M. Cardiovasc Res. 1998; 38 (2): 340-7

    Cardiac hypertrophy appears early after heart transplantation, and may represent a myocardial response to injury. Recent evidence suggests that angiotensin II (Ang II) may promote growth through the AT1 and inhibit growth through the AT2 receptor subtypes. We therefore asked whether hypertrophy after heart transplantation is characterized by alterations in Ang II receptor gene expression.
