| 1 | In cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMC), Rho kinase stimulated by angiotensin II was suppressed by the pretreatment with pioglitazone and troglitazone, and these effects were explained by the inhibition of the Rho translocation to the cell membrane. | rasmc | angiotensinogen | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | Finally, both basal and angiotensin II-stimulated levels of Rho kinase activity were greater in RASMC from SHR than those from WKY, and the enhanced Rho kinase activity was blocked by pioglitazone or troglitazone in both strains. | rasmc | angiotensinogen | Rattus norvegicus |
