Figure 4

Concentrations (median, minimum, and maximum) of ANG II and ANG (1–9), produced from exogenously added ANG I, by the aortic rings of STZ and CTRL rats, pretreated with perindoprilat (ANG I + P) or thiorphan (ANG I + T). , ANG II concentration was higher in (ANG I only) group of STZ aorta. , ANG (1–9) concentration was higher in (ANG I + P) group of CTRL aorta.
