Köppel et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant 2003
(Calcium Signaling) :
In MCs with chemically or enzymatically altered membrane associated heparan sulphate glycosaminoglycan ( HS-GAG ), Ang II stimulation resulted in [ Ca ( 2+ ) ] ( i ) oscillations
Ikeda et al., Hypertens Res 2008
(Cardiomegaly...) :
However, MCs did not affect production of angiotensin II (Ang II) by NMCs or secretion of endothelin-1 and transforming growth factor-beta1 into the MC/NMC co-culture system
Lee et al., Micron 2010
:
Force-distance analysis showed that Ang II caused MCs to stiffen ( p < 0.0001 )
