[The change of angiotensin II production and its receptor expression during wound healing: possible role of angiotensin II in wound healing].

Abstract

These results indicate that Ang II participate in wound repair and related to remolding in the late stage of wound healing through the change in production of angiotensin II and expression of AT1 and AT2 receptors. AT1 receptor might be closely associated with cell proliferation, while AT2 receptor might play a role in cell apoptosis and remolding during wound healing.
