Losartan as type 1 angiotensin II receptor antagonist in piglet study.
By
Hiteshkumar Soni on 01/10/2018
Assay Type: In Vivo
Species: Other
We used Losartan as type 1 angiotensin II receptor antagonist in piglet study to prove that hUII-induced MAP elevation and hemodynamic changeswere inhibited by urantide, a UTR antagonist, but not with losartan.
