Why the study?
Do AT2R autoantibodies suppress vasopressor responses to angiotensin II and AT1R-activating autoantibodies?
Do AT2R autoantibodies suppress vasopressor responses to angiotensin II and AT1R-activating autoantibodies?
AT2R autoantibodies can activate AT2R and counteract AT1R-mediated vasoconstriction, suggesting a potential counter-regulatory role in blood pressure regulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AT2R autoantibodies may counter AT1R vasoconstriction in animals; hypothesis-generating for human hypertension and requires clinical validation.
Liles et al. (2015) studied this question.
