Article Synopsis
- Exercise training induces physiological cardiac hypertrophy, which is influenced by the protective actions of the renin-angiotensin system, particularly the Mas receptor.
- A study on rats showed that blocking the Mas receptor with A-779 led to higher blood pressure and prevented the beneficial cardiac adaptations that normally occur with exercise.
- The results suggest that normal Mas receptor activity is crucial for maintaining healthy heart muscle structure and function during exercise-induced changes.
