TY - T1 - The angiotensin receptor 2 agonist, compound 21, facilitates TRKB activation and reduces the consequences of stress in mice SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-202106243235; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/331829 T3 - A1 - Laukkanen, Liina A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2021 LA - eng AB - This study investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of direct angiotensin II (ANG) receptor type 2 (AGTR2) agonist Compound 21 (C21). The blockade of ANG receptor type 1 (AGTR1) by AGTR1 antagonists has long been associated with antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the therapeutic effects of the AGTR1 antagonists are partially dependent on enhancing the signaling through neuroprotective AGTR2. This suggests that as a specific AGTR2 agonist C21 could...
