ACE2 Is Augmented in Dystrophic Skeletal Muscle and Plays a Role in Decreasing Associated Fibrosis
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease and is characterized by absence of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin, muscle wasting, and fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that systemic infusion or oral administration of angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), a pept...
