Angiotensin II may recruit postjunctional α2-adrenoceptors during sympathetic stimulation; hypothesis-generating for human vascular control.
Does angiotensin II alter the alpha-adrenoceptor subtype mediating the response to sympathetic nerve stimulation in the rabbit isolated distal saphenous artery?
Angiotensin II uncovers a role for postjunctional alpha 2-adrenoceptors in mediating the contractile response to sympathetic nerve stimulation in the rabbit distal saphenous artery.
Dunn et al. (1991) studied this question.
