Why the study?
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is characterized by aortic dilatation and rupture, and the effects of Ang 1-7 and its molecular mechanisms in this setting remained to be determined.
Does Angiotensin 1-7 prevent abdominal aortic dilatation and smooth muscle cell death in a murine model of abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Population
Eight- to 10-week-old apolipoprotein E-deficient mice infused with Ang II
Comparison
Ang 1-7 (0.576 mg/kg/day, i.p.) vs no Ang 1-7
Design
Preclinical animal study

Hypothesis-generating for Ang 1-7 in murine AAA; leaves open human translation and clinical trials.
Does Angiotensin 1-7 prevent abdominal aortic dilatation and smooth muscle cell death in a murine model of abdominal aortic aneurysm?
In a murine model of abdominal aortic aneurysm, Angiotensin 1-7 suppressed aortic dilatation and smooth muscle cell apoptosis, suggesting a potential therapeutic pathway to halt AAA progression.
