Localization of angiotensin receptor type 2 in fetal bovine ovaries

“…43 So, while the AT1 receptor promotes cellular proliferation, the AT2 receptor promotes inhibitory and proapoptotic effects. 44,45 In the ovary, AT1 and AT2 receptors have been characterized in different species including rat, [46][47][48][49] bovine, 50 and porcine. [51][52][53] In general, the wide interspecies variation in relation to the expression and cellular localization of AngII receptors in ovarian follicles is suggestive of differences among species in the physiological roles of OVRAS.…”
