Abstract
⺠Rat overexpressing the B1R specifically in the vascular endothelium were assessed. ⺠The BK-induced relaxations were significantly increased in the transgenic rats. ⺠The expression level of the B2R in the transgenic rats was highly increased. ⺠The ACE activity and mRNA ACE expression was not altered. ⺠We report that the B2R expression is upregulated by the overexpression of B1R.
