Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II) on the expression of brain AT1 receptors in young (3-4 weeks) rats. One week of icv ANG II infusion produced a significant increase in brain AT1 receptor protein (Western blot) and mRNA (relative RT-PCR) expression. These data raise the possibility that ANG II may play a role in postnatal expression of brain AT1 receptors. Copyright 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.Entities:
