The hyperglycemia induced by angiotensin II in rats is mediated by AT1 receptors
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 We have shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in glucose homeostasis during acute hemorrhage. Since almost all of the physiological actions described for angiotensin II were mediated by AT1 receptors, the present experiments were ...
