摘要: Background Blockade of type 1 angiotensin (Ang) II receptors combined with ACE inhibition may amplify the efficacy renin-angiotensin system blockade because inhibitors do not completely and permanently suppress Ang production. Methods Results Enalapril or losartan (1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg) their combination was administered for 2 to 4 weeks spontaneously hypertensive rats. The low doses each agent induced greater reductions in blood pressure (BP) left ventricular weight/body weight (LVW/BW) ratio than monotherapy same higher doses. When approximately equipotent regimens enalapril, losartan, combination, as judged by BP fall, were compared, there similar increases plasma renal renin Ang-(1-7) I angiotensinogen. alone reduced levels, increased levels. enalapril prevented incre...
