Histone Deacetylase Inhibition Attenuates Aortic Remodeling in Rats under Pressure Overload

Figure 5

Effect of MGCD on the expression levels of angiotensin II receptors in rats after TAC. mRNA expression levels of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (Agtr1) and type 2 receptor (Agtr2) were determined by qRT-PCR. The TAC rats had higher Agtr1 (a) and Agtr2 (b) mRNA expression, which decreased with MGCD treatment. Data are shown as of eight rats per group ( vs. sham group, ## vs. TAC group).
