Discussion: The renin-angiotensin system plays a primary role in cardiovascular
homeostasis. Many of the biological effects of this system are mediated by the octapeptide
angiotensin II, which interacts with specific cell surface receptors [5]. There are two
pharmacologically distinct types of angiotensin II receptors, designated type 1 (AT1) and
type II (AT2). Two subtypes of type I receptor have been identified in rodents (ATla and
ATlb)[6, 7]. ATla and
