The renin-angiotensin system has been in the spotlight for more than 100 years because of its vital role in blood pressure regulation, ion and fluid homeostasis, and tissue growth and remodeling. Recent advances in molecular genetic techniques have established that the renin-angiotensin system may well hold the key to the pathogenesis of hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, and stroke. In Angiotensin Protocols, Donna Wang and a panel of hands-on experts describe in step-by-step detail all the major molecular, biochemical, and functional techniques now used in probing this powerful system. These range from the use of embryonic gene targeting to create mutant strains, to the functional investigation of components of the renin-angiotensin system. Following the successful pattern of the Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, each method is crafted for experimental success with detailed instructions, perceptive notes highlighting the most critical steps, and helpful tips on pitfalls to avoid. Comprehensive and highly practical, Angiotensin Protocols translates expert knowledge into readily reproducible methods that enable all biomedical investigators successfully to explore the role of angiotensin in health and disease today.
