1 The aim of this study was to examine the immunohistochemical localization of AT1 receptor in the CB of adult rats and to compare its expression in vehicle-treated animals, and after the long-term application of its selective blocker losartan. Losartan angiotensin II receptor, type 1a Rattus norvegicus
2 Exogenous administration of losartan for a prolonged time significantly reduces the intensity of AT1 receptor immunostaining in the CB glomus cells and SCG neurons. Losartan angiotensin II receptor, type 1a Rattus norvegicus
3 Our results show that AT1 receptors are largely expressed in the rat CB under physiological conditions, and their expression is down-regulated by losartan treatment. Losartan angiotensin II receptor, type 1a Rattus norvegicus
