Abstract
The (pro) renin-renin receptor, (P) RR has been claimed to be a novel element of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The function of (P) RR has been widely studied in renal and vascular pathology but the cardio-specific function of (P)RR has not been studied in detail. We therefore generated a transgenic mouse (Tg) with cardio-restricted (P) RR overexpression driven by the alpha-MHC promotor. The mRNA expression of (P) RR was similar to 170-fold higher (P
