not only to hypertension but also to obesity and insulin resistance. Recent evidence obtained
in vitro suggests that the type 2 Ang II receptor (AT2R) mediates the trophic action of Ang ... Cited by 60 - Related articles - All 5 versions

tissue, AII may act directly on adipose tissue. However, regardless of whether AII directly modulates
adipose tissue growth and metabolism in vivo and, if so, whether it is mediated via Agtr1 ... Cited by 46 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
