International Journal of Hypertension 5 Figure 1 : Plasma levels of Ang-(1-7), Ang-(1-9) and Ang II in rats with myocardial infarction treated with the ACE inhibitor enalapril (8 weeks). Increased plasma levels of Ang-(1-9) were observed in rats with myocardial infarction treated with the ACE inhibitor enalapril. Myocardial infarction was induced by coronary artery ligation. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 12/group). AMI: acute myocardial infarction, E: enalapril. * P < 0.05 compared to both Sham and untreated myocardial infarction groups; * * P < 0.05 compared to both Sham and enalapril-treated myocardial infarction groups.
