Purinergic P2X1, P2X7 and angiotensin AT1 receptors interactions in the regulation of renal afferent arteriole in angiotensin II-dependent hypertension

In angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent hypertension, Ang II activates AT1 receptors (AT1R), elevating blood pressure and increasing renal afferent arteriolar resistance (AAR). The increased arterial ...
