Myocardial hypertrophy induced by high salt consumption is prevented by angiotensin II AT2 receptor agonist

Although many studies have reported the effects of AT1 receptor on dietary salt overload, the role of AT2 receptor in this model is far from completely elucidated. The present study aimed to better understand the role of AT2 receptor in cardiac structure alterations in response to chronic high salt intake in rats.
