Distinct AT1aR roles on blood versus endothelial cells extend mechanistic insight into hypertensive stroke; leaves open selective targeting in humans.
Both blood cell- and endothelial cell-associated AT1aR contribute to brain injury responses to ischemic stroke during Ang II-hypertension, with distinct roles in inflammation and tissue necrosis.
Nagai et al. (2011) studied this question.
