Abstract
We studied the role of angiotensin II in pressure overload-induced B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) gene expression by using a double transgenic rat (dTGR) model, in which transgenic rats for the human angiotensinogen and renin genes are crossed. Pressure overload produced by [Arg8Keywords
