Angiotensin II-stimulated Mitogen-activated Protein kinases Regulate the Expression of Brain Angiotensin Type 1 Receptors in Heart Failure

Biography

I am currently studying the role of forebrain on the sympathetic nerve activity in heart failure, focusing on the brain renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and pertinent neurotransmitter mechanisms within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) and in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM).
