Pressor responsiveness to angiotensin II in female mice is enhanced with age: role of the angiotensin type 2 receptor

BACKGROUND: The pressor response to angiotensin II (AngII) is attenuated in adult females as compared to males via an angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT(2)R)-dependent pathway. We hypothesized that adult female mice are protected against AngII-induced hypertension via an enhanced AT(2)R-mediated pathwa...
