Low dose angiotensin II infusion restores vascular function in cerebral arteries of high salt fed rats by increasing Cu/Zn SOD expression

BACKGROUND:

This study examined the vasoprotective role of circulating angiotensin II (ANG II) levels in the cerebral circulation of high salt (HS)-fed (SS.BN-(D13hmgc41-13hmgc23)/Mcwi) (Ren1-BN) congenic rats, which carry a normally functioning renin allele from the Brown Norway (BN) rat on the Dahl salt-sensitive genetic background.
