“…Studies of cerebral arteries, including those in humans, have found that Ang II produces vasoconstriction (Whalley et al, 1985, 1987; Toda et al, 1990; Bevan et al, 1998; Stenman and Edvinsson, 2004; Miller et al, 2005; Vincent et al, 2005; Faraci et al, 2006; De Silva et al, 2009; Amberg et al, 2010; Ahnstedt et al, 2011). Both genetic and pharmacological approaches have established that Ang II induces constriction of cerebral arteries via activation of AT1 receptors (Naveri et al, 1994; Stenman and Edvinsson, 2004; Faraci et al, 2006).…”
